Intel Demos Chip to Compute with Encrypted Data

Automated excerpt

SummaryFully homomorphic encryption (FHE) allows computing on encrypted data without decryption, but it’s currently slow on standard CPUs and GPUs. Intel’s Heracles chip accelerates FHE tasks up to 5,000 times as fast as top Intel server CPUs. Heracles uses a 3-nanometer FinFET technology and high-bandwidth memory, enabling efficient encrypted computing at scale. Startups and Intel are racing to commercialize FHE accelerators, with potential applications in AI and secure data processing. Worried that your latest ask to a cloud-based AI reveals a bit too much about you? It’s called fully homomorphic encryption, or FHE.
