Sundar Pichai Says 'Great' to see Intel Using Gemini Enterprise as Chipmaker Expands Google Cloud Partner

Google Cloud Deepens Intel AI Partnership

Reacting to the announcement on X, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai wrote, “Great to see @Intel using Gemini Enterprise across its business, including to speed up the development of next-gen semiconductors!”

Under the expanded agreement, Intel will deploy Gemini Enterprise as a centralized AI platform for employees, enabling teams to build and use AI agents for coding, engineering automation and other business workflows.

The company also plans to use AI-powered tools to support marketing and communications by identifying subject matter experts, generating executive messaging and creating content across multiple channels.

“As part of our AI-powered transformation, we are committed to offering our employees tools that help them move with greater speed, agility, and efficiency,” said Cindy Stoddard, Intel’s senior vice president and chief information officer.

AI Agents And Google Cloud To Speed Chip Development

Beyond rolling out Gemini Enterprise, Intel is expanding its use of Google Cloud’s C4 and N4 cloud instances to supplement its on-premises computing capacity.

Google launched its C4 and N4 general-purpose VMs in April 2024, powered by fifth-generation Intel Xeon processors and Titanium architecture for improved performance and efficiency.

The additional high-performance computing resources will allow engineering teams to run more semiconductor simulations simultaneously, helping shorten chip development timelines.

Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said the companies are “expanding our strategic partnership with @Intel to accelerate their enterprise-wide digital transformation using Gemini Enterprise and @GoogleCloud.”

He added that integrating custom, agentic AI workflows across core business functions and silicon design would help Intel achieve greater speed, agility and efficiency across its global operations.
