Intel has returned to F1 with a new partnership with McLaren. The chip company is providing Xeon and Core Ultra chips to the team in exchange for a decal on the side of the car that won both the Drivers and Constructors championship in 2025.
Intel says its chips will be provided for computational fluid dynamics, aerodynamic analysis, vehicle-dynamics simulation, and real-time decision systems, and race strategy analytics. So, all the important stuff, then. F1 teams are data companies these days, so a major technical partner is a must-have to do much on the track.
