Intel Chip Chat

Ronnie Vasishta, Vice President and General Manager for the Networking and Configurable Logic Division at Intel, joins Chip Chat to discuss the critical role of programmable solutions in the delivery of network infrastructure for 5G.

Vasishta joined Intel with the acquisition of eASIC in 2018 and is responsible both for running eASIC within Intel and for the wireline and wireless networking business for Intel's programmable solutions. In this interview, Vasishta and host Allyson Klein dive deep on technologies that are part of what Vasishta calls the "custom logic continuum." Vasishta talks about "structured ASICs," an intermediary between FPGAs and true ASICs with lower unit-cost and power consumption than FPGAs but faster time-to-market and lower engineering cost than true ASICs. Additionally, Vasishta highlights next-generation Intel eASIC code-named Diamond Mesa. Drawing upon generations of customer learning from both Intel and eASIC, Diamond Mesa is already seeing early adoption in 5G RAN applications by some of the same customers who helped contribute to the product's definition. Finally, Vasishta looks ahead to the future of programmable solutions and how Intel will continue to deliver to continuously evolving and changing market requirements.

On this episode of Chip Chat, Intel CIO Archie Deskus talks with host Allyson Klein about how Intel was able to successfully pivot its workforce while maintaining business operations. Because Intel created a Pandemic Leadership Team (PLT) following the SARS outbreak of 2002-2003, there was some preparation for half of all employees work remotely, but the speed and severity of this pandemic forced the company to innovate rapidly.

The two discuss why Intel needed to make numerous changes across manufacturing, supply chain, sales and marketing, human resources and finance while supporting 100,000 remote workers worldwide and go into further details about how Intel IT was able to double VPN capacity over a single weekend.

Bob Ghaffari, General Manager for the Enterprise and Cloud Networking Division at Intel, joins Chip Chat to discuss the evolution of networks to meet the needs of the enterprise network edge.

Ghaffari works with customers and partners to ensure that Intel has the right solutions for the cloud and enterprise as networks continue to be virtualized and transformed. In this interview, Ghaffari and host Allyson Klein talk about how Intel is delivering new solutions and architectures to help customers access and move the data they need in an increasingly hybrid- and multi-cloud world. Ghaffari provides an overview of some of the key technologies in Intel's silicon foundation for the edge, such as Intel® Xeon® D processors, Intel® QuickAssist Technology (Intel® QAT), and the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK). Ghaffari additionally highlights OpenNESS (Open Network Edge Services Software) as a way for customers to deploy edge services more rapidly, especially in a multi-cloud environment. Finally, Ghaffari speaks to trends he's seeing in edge deployments and the unique challenges involved in securing the enterprise network edge.
