Cardinal Peak, an engineering services firm specializing in connected product development, including hardware, electronics, embedded, cloud and end-user software, today announced it has attained Amazon Web Services IoT Core Service Delivery designation to improve customer experiences and outcomes of Internet of Things solutions.

Validated for choosing the best approach for designing and implementing connected devices with AWS IoT Core, Cardinal Peak delivers IoT solutions optimized for cost, reliability, security, performance and scalability. The AWS IoT Service Delivery designation identifies AWS Partner Network (APN) members with a track record of delivering AWS IoT Core services to customers.

“We’ve helped create and launch many IoT designs, including machine learning and AI in the cloud or at the edge, embedded development, over-the-air updates, fleet management and much more — leveraging AWS IoT services — and are ecstatic to achieve AWS IoT Core Partner status,” said Mark Carrington, Cardinal Peak’s CEO. “This achievement illustrates our commitment to providing innovative IoT solutions to our customers, and we look forward to further strengthening our partnership with AWS to drive digital transformation and enable connected experiences for organizations across industries.”

As an early adopter of AWS, Cardinal Peak started developing its first AWS product in 2011. The company then developed a music streaming service on AWS cloud that launched to 15 million customers in its first two weeks. In 2018, the product design and development firm became an Alexa system integrator based on successful client delivery. In 2020, Cardinal Peak joined Amazon’s Voice Interoperability Initiative, a commitment to providing customer choice and flexibility. In 2022, members of Cardinal Peak’s embedded software team presented a re:Invent chalk talk on AWS IoT ExpressLink. Current initiatives as an APN consulting partner include a deeper focus on AWS IoT Core and Kinesis Video.

As an APN partner and AWS IoT consulting services expert, Cardinal Peak solves difficult problems at every stage to bring product innovations to market quickly. The company's AWS partner services combine senior-level development, testing and support professionals on a single team — ensuring contract engineering projects have the right pieces in the right places, from end to end. Cardinal Peak supports every aspect of the product engineering process, whether clients need a specific skill set to augment their staff or a complete team to take an idea from prototype through commercialization and ongoing support.

“This achievement is a testament to our team's exceptional talent and years of experience in building world-class IoT solutions,” said Sean O’Neil, vice president of application engineering and the AWS visionary at Cardinal Peak. “Our ongoing focus on innovation and relentless commitment to delivering transformative IoT experiences enabled us to achieve this significant milestone, and we will continue to push the boundaries of what's possible with IoT as we advance through Amazon's consulting partner program."

Benefits accruing from the AWS IoT Service Delivery include funds to offset AWS services costs for customer implementations and the support of Amazon's top IoT solution architects, ensuring an efficient and secure IoT solution design for each customer.

Intel’s AI PC Neural Processor, Transforming AI Accessibility

Intel | September 20, 2023

Intel is turning software into a new revenue-generating business division, based primarily on the AI obsession. Intel is the first to bring a true AI accelerator to a PC with Meteor Lake. Intel Xeon processors of the fifth generation will also debut on December 14. Next year, the Sierra Forest E-core processor will be available with 288 cores. Intel has revealed plans to launch an AI PC, set to be released on December 14, featuring Intel Core Ultra processors with a Neural Processing Unit (NPU). The new processors, codenamed Meteor Lake, will include Intel's NPU for AI acceleration and local inference on the PC, representing an inflection point in client processing. The move is part of Intel's effort to compete with Nvidia and expand its presence in the AI space across various compute needs. CEO of Intel, Pat Gelsinger, noted ‘AI Everywhere' in a keynote address, surprising some who haven't been paying attention with a December 14 launch date for the AI PC running Intel Core Ultra processors with a comparatively new acronym, NPU, for Neural Processing Unit. In July, he first described the upcoming AI PC era. The AI PC is expected to launch worldwide, with Acer already planning to unveil a laptop powered by the Core Ultra processor. Intel's AI PC represents a significant development, as it brings a true AI accelerator to a PC. This allows for generative AI tasks to be performed locally, faster, and with higher levels of privacy and security. The AI PC is expected to play a crucial role in supporting AI workloads on local devices, such as PCs, mobile devices, and edge devices. Analyst at J. Gold Associates, Jack Gold, stated, The significance of AI on a PC is not to be overlooked, this is a big deal. Intel is the first to bring a true AI accelerator to a PC with Meteor Lake. Microsoft is even adding capabilities in next-gen Windows to access the NPU. [Source: Fierce Electronics] Local processing power becomes crucial as AI workloads increasingly run on local devices. This shift reduces the need to transfer data to the cloud, improving efficiency and reducing latency. It aims to leverage AI to transform the PC experience, emphasizing the synergy between cloud and PC. This will allow for personal productivity and creativity enhancements. Intel's Core Ultra processors will include Fovoros packaging, combining the NPU, Intel 4 process technology, and graphics capabilities with Intel Arc graphics.
