Intel has announced its intent to contribute to the development of blockchain technologies, with a roadmap of very-efficient accelerators. Koduri, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intel's Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics Group, said that the company will engage and promote an open and secure blockchain ecosystem and help advance the technology in a responsible and sustainable way. Intel responds by focusing its efforts on developing the most energy-efficient computing technologies at scale. Intel's blockchain accelerator, which will ship this year, features a tiny piece of silicon with minimal impact on the company's supply of current products. With the help of Intel Labs which dedicated decades of research into reliable cryptography, hashing techniques, and ultra-low voltage circuits, the company expects that its circuit innovations will deliver a blockchain accelerator that has over 1000x better performance per watt than mainstream GPUs for SHA-256 based mining. Intel has also formed the new Custom Compute Group within Intel's Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics business unit. Got the official statement from Intel Corporation today and it turns out bigger than we originally expected and involves around 5,000 to 6,000 employees worldwide, including 1,800 in the Philippines.
