The Future of Computing: Exploring Intel’s CPU-as-a-Service™ (CPUaaS) Strategy
At Herman Technologies, we thrive on exploring transformative ideas that can redefine industries. Recently, we posed a provocative question: Can a bold product strategy pivot redefine the essence of one of the tech industry’s most enduring innovations—the CPU?
This question led to the creation of Intel CPU-as-a-Service™ (CPUaaS)—a conceptual framework that envisions a new direction for Intel from 2025 to 2035. This private research report explores how Intel could evolve its CPUs from hardware components to scalable, on-demand services, delivering flexibility, efficiency, and innovation across industries.
Why CPUaaS?
The technology landscape is shifting rapidly, driven by the demands of AI, edge computing, and the rise of platform-based business models. Inspired by leaders like Microsoft’s Azure, CPUaaS proposes a shift that could transform Intel into a platform-first company capable of delivering computing as a flexible service.
With CPUs delivered through a subscription-based model, this approach would unlock new opportunities for Intel in industries ranging from healthcare to space technology.
