The university said it operates a 120-sensor network across the football stadium and basketball arena and processes the visual data on six Dell servers powered by 12 Xeon processors. Venue staff used the information to adjust entrance and security-check layouts.

Intel says the system runs on the existing CPU infrastructure without discrete GPUs. Its account emphasizes anonymous image analysis and improved queues, but this is a company case study, not an independent performance trial; the reported outcomes come from Intel and the university.
