At OCP Global Summit in San Jose, TechArena’s Allison Klein talked with Intel Vice President, Product Management, GTM & Customer Success for AI Accelerators Anil Nanduri and Astera Labs AVP of Product Management Ahmad Dinesh about how open standards like PCIe® and CXL® are shaping AI infrastructure.
They covered Intel’s Crescent Island inference GPU, Astera Labs’ Orion Rack-Scale Reference Architecture and Scorpio™ Smart Fabric Switches, why agentic AI is changing workload demands, and how a fabric-attached memory tier for KV cache can deliver more tokens per second for the same spend.
