Intel Introduces Gaudi 3 AI Accelerator: Going Bigger and Aiming Higher In AI Market
by Ryan Smith on April 9, 2024 11:35 AM EST - Posted in - GPUs - Intel - Accelerator - AI - HBM2E - Habana - Gaudi - Gaudi 3 - Intel Vision 2024 Intel this morning is kicking off the second day of their Vision 2024 conference, the company’s annual closed-door business and customer-focused get-together. While Vision is not typically a hotbed for new silicon announcements from Intel – that’s more of an Innovation thing in the fall – attendees of this year’s show are not coming away empty handed.
Similar to NVIDIA’s recently announced Blackwell accelerator, two identical dies are placed on a single package, and are connected via a high bandwidth link in order to give the chip a unified memory address space. More interesting is that BF16 performance has apparently increased by 4x over Gaudi 2, however Intel hasn’t disclosed an official throughput number for that mode, or what architectural changes have led to that improvement. The OAM form factor will remain the way to go for both highest performance on a per-accelerator basis and to maximize scale-out potential, but for customers who need something to plug and go in traditional PCIe slots, there is finally an option for that for a Gaudi accelerator.
