Intel has announced the Intel Developer Cloud, a platform intended to make it easier for commercial customers to get early access to yet-to-be-released technologies.
The chipmaker announced the Intel Developer Cloud at its
Intel Innovation 2022 event this week. Ahead of the official rollout, the x86 giant said it will be offering a beta trial for select pre-qualified customers to follow the event. During the beta, approved developers and partners will have access to Intel's latest compute and accelerator platforms for test and evaluation, but under non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). That silicon includes
the elusive Sapphire Rapids Xeon processors that continue to be months away from volume production.
Chipzilla said the Intel Developer Cloud may bear a resemblance to well-known cloud services from the big public cloud providers in some ways, but emphasized that this is a specialized cloud offering for a specialized audience. It's basically a test environment, not a place to host your production websites.
