Jennifer Huffstetler, Director of Datacenter Product Marketing at Intel, joins us to announce a new platform brand for Intel's datacenter processors. Cued by the significant architectural leaps in what many have heard of as "Skylake," Intel has re-architected the Intel® Xeon® processor family brand to reflect the core value proposition of this new processor family: scalability. Launching in Summer 2017, The Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family will offer 4 levels of performance and a variety of choices with regard to which integrations and accelerators customers need, with a new tiering based on metals (Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum) to make the options simple to understand. This new architecture reflects both the maturation of datacenter workloads and customer desires for agile and secure infrastructures that can grow and respond to constantly changing market needs. In this interview, Huffstetler unpacks the new Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family brand and previews some of the exciting advances customers can look forward to when the platform launches.

Bryce Olson, Global Marketing Director for the Health and Life Sciences Group at Intel, joins us live from the Intel AI Lounge at SXSW. Olson's unique journey to Intel's HLS Group began with his own stage IV cancer diagnosis. Wanting to work in healthcare, Olson joined Intel HLS, where technologies like genomics and precision medicine "blew [his] mind and changed the whole course of [his] life." Armed with knowledge of cutting-edge treatments that target molecular drivers of cancer, Olson insisted on DNA sequencing and used the results to gain access to a perfect-fit drug trial that shut down his cancer. Olson is now raising awareness for this new way to fight cancer through a new movement called FACTS (Fighting Advanced Cancer Through Songs). Donations (http://intel.ly/2oy6niZ) and a large portion of net proceeds from their first album (http://intel.ly/2oyUf0G) will go towards enabling greater patient expansion into cutting-edge precision medicine trials. In this interview, Olson talks about his own precision medicine journey, helping more people gain access to precision medicine, and how Intel AI will power a new era of cancer discoveries and therapies.
