Intel Launches Xeon 6 Processors and Gaudi 3 AI Accelerator to Help Enterprises Cost-Effectively Scale AI
IntelligenceIn an effort to help businesses cost-effectively scale their AI infrastructure, Intel has introduced the Intel Xeon 6 with Performance Cores and Gaudi 3 AI Accelerator. According to Intel, this will enable powerful AI-powered systems with optimal performance per watt at a low total cost of ownership. “With the introduction of Xeon 6 with P-cores and Gaudi 3 AI Accelerator, Intel is creating an open ecosystem that enables our customers to deploy all their workloads with greater performance, efficiency, and security,” said Justin Hotard, executive vice president and general manager of Intel’s Data Center and AI Group.
Intel Xeon 6 with P-core and Gaudi 3 AI Accelerators: Everything You Need to Know
Intel says its Xeon 6 chipset offers twice the performance of the previous generation, with more cores, twice the memory bandwidth and Artificial Intelligence power in every core. Simply put, this processor is ideal for AI computing needs from data and cloud infrastructure.
For the Gaudi 3 AI accelerator, Intel claims it has been specifically tuned to handle large generative AI models, with 43 tensor processing cores and 8 multipliers, boosting neural network capabilities for computation. Additionally, Intel mentions 128 gigabytes (GB) of HBM2e memory for training and inference, and 24 200 Gigabit (Gb) Ethernet ports for network expansion. A key example of the Gaudi 3 deployment is Intel’s partnership with IBM, which is using the Gaudi 3 AI accelerator as a service on the IBM Cloud—reducing the cost of AI scaling.
How do AI systems benefit?
Intel claims to offer a competitive price-performance ratio, making AI accessible with its x86 architecture while maintaining optimal total cost of ownership (TCO) and performance per watt. In fact, Dell and Supermicro have developed AI solutions using Intel’s Gaudi 3 AI accelerator and Xeon 6 processors.
