Intel's global and China executives visited Sixunited, discussing the future of the AI industry!

On May 14, senior executives from Intel's global and China divisions conducted an in-depth inspection and exchange visit at Sixunited. The delegation was led by Nash Caise M, Global Channel, Ecosystem and Compute Product Sales General Manager of Intel; Liang Judy, Channel Enablement Director; Wallet Lex, EMEA CCG Partner Sales and ODM Ecosystem Lead; and Adano Robert, Senior Business Development Manager. The group also included key leaders from Intel China: Yan Tao, Client Technology Director; Tang Rong, Client Technology Project Manager; and Zhang Kaichun, CTE Business Manager.

Accompanying them were Sixunited's senior management team: Chairman Cao Yalian; Ding Zhan, Marketing Center General Manager; Shen Jinzhong, Deputy General Manager of the Product R&D Center; Yao Lijun, Deputy General Manager of the Marketing Center; and Zhang Xiaojun, Deputy General Manager of the Product R&D Center. The two parties engaged in substantive discussions focusing on AI PC technological innovation and collaborative development of the industrial ecosystem, reaching consensus on multiple strategic cooperation frameworks.

 

01 Strategic Focus: AI Empowering End Devices, Innovation Drives the Future​

At the meeting, Cao Yalian, Chairman of Sixunited, warmly welcomed Intel’s leadership team. He emphasized that AI technology is driving the terminal industry to leapfrog from "functional implementation" to "intelligent services." Leveraging Intel’s leading advantages in chip computing power, AI algorithms, and ecosystem resources, combined with Sixunited’s expertise in customized smart hardware R&D, deep industry scenario understanding, and supply chain integration capabilities, the company will focus on developing benchmark AI PC solutions with hardware-software integration. Additionally, Sixunited aims to accelerate the deployment of AI large models in applications such as smart office solutions, medical diagnostics, and industrial automation.

​Nash Caise M, Intel’s Global Channel, Ecosystem and Compute Product Sales General Manager, strongly concurred. She emphasized: ​“AI PCs are the core platform for next-generation computing. Their value lies not only in breakthroughs in hardware performance but also in deep integration with industry-specific scenarios. Intel will continue to empower partners through an open ecosystem, collaborating comprehensively with Sixunited in areas such as AI compute optimization, hardware co-design, and vertical domain model development to jointly define new standards for AI terminals.”​

 

02 Deep Consensus: Joint Efforts in AI PC and Ecosystem Cooperation

Following this, Ding Zhan, General Manager of the Marketing Center at Sixunited gave a comprehensive report to the Intel team on the company's second-quarter business progress, highlighting the phased achievements in AI PC R&D, industry solution implementation, and global market expansion. Based on a forward-looking understanding of AI technology trends, Ding Zhan detailed Sixunited's future strategic plan: First, using Intel Core Ultra processors as the computing power base to create a multi-category AI PC product matrix covering consumer-grade ultra-thin notebooks, commercial high-performance workstations, and industrial-grade edge terminals, achieving a leap in on-device AI inference capabilities; second, exploring the application of AI technology in vertical scenarios such as business office, medical assistance, and industrial control, promoting "cloud-based large models + terminal lightweight deployment"; and third, jointly building an AI terminal ecosystem closed loop from hardware to applications with Intel and CTE industry chain partners.

Liang Judy, Director of Global Channel Enablement at Intel responded that the popularization of AI terminals needs to overcome three major bottlenecks: computing power cost, model adaptability, and scenario fragmentation. To this end, Intel will open three core resources to Sixunited: First, technological empowerment. Intel will provide Sixunited with full-chain support from chip-level AI acceleration instruction sets to framework-level development tools; second, ecosystem docking. Intel will assist Sixunited in accessing Intel's AI partner network, sharing solutions from over 200 ISVs; and third, market promotion. Intel will jointly conduct AI PC joint marketing with Sixunited in the Asia-Pacific and EMEA regions, creating a global marketing benchmark case.

Currently, artificial intelligence technology is reshaping the industrial landscape at an exponential rate. This high-level dialogue between Intel and Sixunited not only demonstrates both sides' forward-looking layout of AI trends but also conveys a firm determination to promote industrial upgrading through technological co-creation. In the future, both sides will continue to leverage the synergistic effect of "chips + terminals + ecosystem" to empower various industries with innovative products and solutions, helping artificial intelligence technology to deeply integrate into the digital economy wave.
