<\/div>

At the annual Hot Chips conference, IBM (NYSE:\u00a0IBM<\/a>) today unveiled details of the upcoming new IBM Telum Processor, designed to bring deep learning inference to enterprise workloads to help address fraud in real-time. Telum is IBM\u2019s first processor that contains on-chip acceleration for AI inferencing while a transaction is taking place. Three years in development, the breakthrough of this new on-chip hardware acceleration is designed to help customers achieve business insights at scale across banking, finance, trading, insurance applications and customer interactions. A Telum-based system is planned for the first half of 2022.<\/p>\n

According to recent\u00a0Morning Consult research commissioned by IBM, 90% of respondents said that being able to build and run AI projects wherever their data resides is important[1].\u00a0IBM\u00a0Telum is designed\u00a0to enable applications to run efficiently where the data resides, helping to overcome traditional enterprise AI approaches that tend to require significant memory and data movement capabilities to handle inferencing. With Telum, the accelerator in close proximity to mission critical data and applications means that enterprises can conduct high volume inferencing for real time sensitive transactions without invoking off platform AI solutions, which may impact performance.\u00a0Clients can also build and train AI models off-platform, deploy and infer on a Telum-enabled IBM system for analysis.<\/p>\n

Innovations across banking, finance, trading, insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IBMToday, businesses typically apply detection techniques to catch fraud after it occurs, a process that can be time consuming and compute-intensive due to the limitations of today\u2019s technology, particularly when fraud analysis and detection is conducted far away from mission critical transactions and data. Due to latency requirements, complex fraud detection often cannot be completed in real-time \u2013 meaning a bad actor could have already successfully purchased goods with a stolen credit card before the retailer is aware fraud has taken place.<\/p>\n

According to the Federal Trade Commission\u2019s 2020 Consumer Sentinel Network Databook, consumers reported losing\u00a0more than $3.3 billion\u00a0to fraud in 2020, up from $1.8 billion in 2019[2].\u00a0Telum can help clients to move their thinking from a\u00a0fraud detection<\/em>\u00a0posture to a\u00a0fraud prevention<\/em>\u00a0posture,\u00a0evolving from catching many cases of fraud today, to a potentially new era of prevention of fraud at scale, without impacting service level agreements (SLAs), before the transaction is completed.<\/p>\n

The new chip features an innovative centralized design, which allows clients to leverage the full power of the AI processor for AI-specific workloads, making it ideal for financial services workloads like fraud detection, loan processing, clearing and settlement of trades,\u00a0anti-money laundering and risk analysis.\u00a0With these new innovations, clients will be positioned to enhance existing rules-based fraud detection or use machine learning, accelerate credit approval processes, improve customer service and profitability, identify which trades or transactions may fail, and propose solutions to create a more efficient settlement process.<\/p>\n

Telum and IBM\u2019s Full Stack Approach to Chip Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Telum follows IBM\u2019s long heritage of innovative design and engineering that includes hardware and software co-creation and integration that spans silicon, system, firmware, operating systems and leading software frameworks.<\/p>\n

The chip contains 8 processor cores with a deep super-scalar out-of-order instruction pipeline, running with more than 5GHz clock frequency, optimized for the demands of heterogenous enterprise class workloads. The completely redesigned cache and chip-interconnection infrastructure provides 32MB cache per core, and can scale to 32 Telum chips. The\u00a0dual-chip module\u00a0design contains 22 billion transistors and 19 miles of wire on 17 metal layers.<\/p>\n

Leadership in semiconductors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Telum is the first IBM chip with technology created by the IBM Research AI Hardware Center. In addition, Samsung is IBM\u2019s technology development partner for the Telum processor, developed in 7nm EUV technology node.<\/p>\n

Telum is another example of IBM\u2019s leadership in hardware technology. IBM Research, among the world\u2019s largest industrial research organizations,\u00a0recently announced<\/a>\u00a0scaling to the 2 nm node, the latest benchmark in IBM\u2019s legacy of contributions to silicon and semiconductor innovation. In Albany, NY, home to the IBM AI Hardware Center and Albany Nanotech Complex, IBM Research has created a leading collaborative ecosystem with public-private industry players to fuel advances in semiconductor research, helping to address global manufacturing demands and accelerate the growth of the chip industry.<\/p>\n

Ravi Jain, Director – Server Sales, India South Asia said, “The financial services sector deals with a huge volume of transactions and mission critical workloads on a day-to-day basis. The newly launched IBM Telum, Z Series chip is designed to cater to the volume, while enabling applications to run efficiently where their data resides. The chip will also allow businesses to capture insights and fight fraud in real-time.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
