Hybrid Cloud
IBM Cloud — the first cloud service provider to adopt Intel Gaudi 3 — runs on a Xeon-based bare metal foundation built for AI, analytics, and HPC at enterprise scale.
A forty-five-year strategic partnership across PCs, cloud, AI, and the next generation of silicon. Built for the Age of Ingenuity.
Intel guided the world from the Industrial and Information Age to the Age of Ingenuity. At this inflection point of revolutionary change, IBM partners with Intel to transform enterprise operations from cost centers into growth enablers — humans and machines, driving growth as one.

Gaudi 3 plus watsonx.ai gives enterprises an open, cost-efficient path to inferencing and fine-tuning across hybrid environments — without vendor lock-in.
Joint logic, packaging, and materials research at NY CREATES' Albany NanoTech Complex — including the new High-NA EUV Center and the path to sub-1nm with Lam Research.
IBM Consulting engagements that turn Intel's enterprise functions — finance, supply, talent, operations — from cost centers into growth engines.
The relationship started in 1981 when IBM chose Intel for the IBM PC and deepened in 1982 when IBM bought a $250 million stake — a vote of confidence during a difficult moment for the chip industry. It has evolved across every era since: PCs, servers, hybrid cloud, and now AI accelerators and frontier semiconductor research at Albany.
Reframe finance from a reporting function to a real-time decision engine. Continuous close, predictive forecasting, and watsonx-powered scenario planning.
Cycle-time visibility, supplier risk, and capacity planning built for the realities of fab and assembly — extended into the customer-facing demand signal.
AI-augmented talent platforms — from skills graphs to internal mobility — built to compete for the engineering minds Intel needs to win the next decade.
Production AI grounded in Intel's own data, with the governance and observability that regulated, high-IP environments require.
IBM Cloud is the first cloud service provider to adopt Intel Gaudi 3 — bringing better price-for-performance to the workloads enterprises actually run: inferencing, fine-tuning, hybrid deployment. Open ecosystem. Open standards. Built to ship into regulated environments without lock-in.
"By joining forces with IBM Cloud, we are unlocking new possibilities for our mutual customers to rapidly innovate and scale their AI and hybrid cloud workloads, leveraging IBM Cloud's robust cloud infrastructure."
"The new High NA EUV Center at Albany NanoTech will secure a strong pipeline for semiconductor innovation, keeping New York State at the center of semiconductor expertise, accelerating the growth of the global chip industry and helping to meet manufacturing demand for new technologies such as generative AI."
"Lam has been a critical partner to IBM for over a decade, contributing to key breakthroughs in logic scaling and device architecture such as nanosheet and the world's first 2nm node chip. We are thrilled to be expanding our collaboration to tackle the next set of challenges to enable High-NA EUV lithography and sub-1nm nodes."
