Intel and Advanced Micro Devices have created an advisory group, including members from other technology companies such as Google, Microsoft and Meta Platforms, to shape the future of the x86 chip as the landscape transitions to dynamic artificial-intelligence workloads.

"We are on the cusp of one of the most significant shifts in the x86 architecture and ecosystem in decades--with new levels of customization, compatibility and scalability needed to meet current and future customer needs," Intel Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger said.

The companies on Tuesday said the group will work to identify new ways to expand the x86 ecosystem by enabling compatibility across different platforms and simplifying software development.

As a result, the group said it hopes to enhance customer choice and compatibility across hardware and software; simplify architectural guidelines to enhance software consistency and standardize interfaces; and enable better integration of new capabilities into operating systems, frameworks and applications.

The founding members of the group are Meta, Microsoft, Broadcom, Dell, Alphabet-unit Google, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HP Inc., Lenovo, Oracle and International Business Machines-unit Red Hat.

To achieve these goals, the group will solicit input regarding the chip's necessary functions and features from hardware and software communities.

The group expects to ensure that the x86 continues to be the platform of choice for developers and customers, AMD CEO Lisa Su said.
