As part of the cooperation, the companies will work together to improve iQIYI's video storage, trans-coding distribution, cloud computing, and big data analysis.

The hardware, together with Intel's Virtualization Technology, will improve iQIYI's high-performance video platform with efficient and stable data storage and operation.

"We are very excited to be cooperating with Intel, a global technology leader, to further enhance iQIYI's ability to provide the highest quality online viewing experience," said iQIYI's Chief Technology Officer Mr. Xing Tang. "I am confident that this partnership will help us take iQIYI's technology leadership in China's online video industry to the next level."

Intel's General Manager of Consumption Sales Mr. Douglas Cougle said, "As an important partner of Intel, we look forward to working closely together with iQIYI to raise the technology bar in China's online video industry."

Over the last five years, iQIYI has consistently sought to engage with top technology companies in pursuit of greater innovation.
