Intel to Expand AI Accelerator Portfolio with New GPU

Brady

Well-known member

About the GPU: The new data center GPU code-named Crescent Island is being designed to be power and cost-optimized for air-cooled enterprise servers and to incorporate large amounts of memory capacity and bandwidth, optimized for inference workflows.

Key features include:

  • Xe3P microarchitecture with optimized performance-per-watt
  • 160GB of LPDDR5X memory
  • Support for a broad range of data types, ideal for “tokens-as-a-service” providers and inference use cases
Intel’s open and unified software stack for heterogeneous AI systems is currently being developed and tested on Arc Pro B-Series GPUs to enable early optimizations and iterations. Customer sampling of the new data center GPU code-named Crescent Island is expected in the second half of 2026.

Bets on this Xe3P-driven GPU being built by TSMC or Intel Foundry?

And what does this say about an Xe3P (confirmed to be “Celestial” branded) discrete consumer GPU?
