On-device AI acceleration enables faster content generation, improved responsiveness, and efficient creative workflows for marketers and creators.
Taipei, Taiwan – February 3, 2026 - CyberLink, a global leader in AI and multimedia software, today announced significant AI performance gains on the Intel® Core™ Ultra X7 358H (code name Panther Lake) processor compared with the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 258V (code name Lunar Lake). Internal testing shows AI workloads running up to 2× faster, accelerating content creation, iteration, and production across Promeo, PhotoDirector, and PowerDirector.
At the center of these gains is CyberLink’s Vision-Language Model (VLM), which powers advanced AI-assisted workflows across its applications. In Promeo, the VLM behind AI Marketing Advisor runs up to 2× faster, enabling marketers and creators to move from idea to campaign-ready content with significantly less latency. Additional testing shows Promeo Text-to-Image generation runs up to 1.2× faster, supporting quicker visual ideation and refinement.
“Promeo enables marketers and creators to move from idea to launch-ready campaigns dramatically faster,” said Vincent Lin, Co-President at CyberLink. “By combining AI workflows powered by our Vision-Language Model with on-device acceleration, users can iterate, refine, and deliver content at a pace that directly impacts speed to market.”
Frictionless Content Creation
Promeo is designed to dramatically shorten time to market by streamlining the path from concept to execution while taking full advantage of Intel’s performance improvements. New AI Product Modeling and AI Try-On tools let creators transform a single product photo into professionally staged visuals or generate high-quality fashion imagery without a traditional photoshoot. Those assets can then flow directly into AI Marketing Advisor, where optimized VLM performance on Intel’s processors accelerates campaign generation, adaptation, and content formatting across multiple platforms. By combining these new tools with Marketing Advisor, teams can update product listings, produce marketing campaigns, and iterate visuals faster than ever. Together, these capabilities make it possible for anyone to create professional-grade marketing content quickly and efficiently, dramatically shortening time to market and enabling faster campaign launches and updates.
Optimized for Speed
AI acceleration on Panther Lake also delivers measurable improvements across CyberLink’s broader creative portfolio. In PhotoDirector, VLM-powered AI workflows achieve up to 2× faster performance, while the AI Deblur tool runs up to 1.6× faster, improving responsiveness for image enhancement and restoration tasks. In PowerDirector, AI-driven Object Mask tracking delivers up to 1.4× faster performance, enabling smoother, more efficient video editing workflows.
“Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processors are purpose-built to power next-generation AI and creative workflows,” said Carla Rodriguez, Vice President of Client Software Enablement at Intel. “Through our close collaboration with CyberLink, these optimizations demonstrate how on-device AI can deliver faster, more responsive, and more intelligent experiences for marketers and creators.”
Testing Details
Performance measurements were conducted using CyberLink’s internal AI workloads as of December 22, 2025. Promeo AI Marketing Advisor, Promeo Text-to-Image, PhotoDirector VLM-based workflows and AI Deblur, and PowerDirector Object Mask tracking were tested on comparable systems configured with Windows 11 and optimized performance settings. Results were measured on an Intel® Core™ Ultra X7 358H system and compared against an Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 258V system for Promeo and PhotoDirector and an Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 268V for PowerDirector, under similar conditions. Actual performance may vary depending on configuration and usage.
