Behold, Intel plans a 480GB GPU, a video card with more memory than the average laptop SSD has storage — but of…
- Intel's GPU D-series sets a new GPU memory record with 480GB of LPDDR5X
- Intel chose LPDDR5X instead of GDDR7 for its high-capacity AI accelerator
- The D-series supports models containing up to 300 billion parameters
At the recent Open Compute Project Global Summit, Intelunveiled a graphics processor with up to 480GB of memory, an unusually large capacity designed for demanding AI inference workloads.
The GPU, called Intel GPU D-series and previously known by its Crescent Island codename, also hosts specialized computing hardware.
The Intel D-series has now dethroned Nvidia's Blackwell Ultra B300, which offers 288GB of HBM3e memory, as the data center GPU with the highest memory capacity.
Intel prioritizes memory capacity
Rather than using GDDR7 memory associated with modern graphics cards, Intel has chosen LPDDR5X, a memory technology commonly found in laptops and other power-conscious devices.
The configuration suggests that Intel is prioritizing memory capacity and power...
