Intel introduces Gaudi 3 AI accelerator

ARIZONA, 10th April, 2024 (WAM) -- Intel has introduced the Intel Gaudi 3 accelerator to bring performance, openness and choice to enterprise generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), and unveiled a suite of new open scalable systems, next-gen products and strategic collaborations to accelerate GenAI adoption, according to the Associated Press (AP).

With only 10 percent of enterprises successfully moving GenAI projects into production last year, Intel's latest offerings address the challenges businesses face in scaling AI initiatives.

Gaudi 3 gives customers choices with open community-based software and industry-standard Ethernet networking to scale their systems more flexibly.

In a statement AP carried, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said, “Innovation is advancing at an unprecedented pace, all enabled by silicon – and every company is quickly becoming an AI company.

“Intel is bringing AI everywhere across the enterprise, from the PC to the data centre to the edge. Our latest Gaudi, Xeon and Core Ultra platforms are delivering a cohesive set of flexible solutions tailored to meet the changing needs of our customers and partners and capitalize on the immense opportunities ahead.”

Enterprises are looking to scale GenAI from pilot to production. To do so, they need readily available solutions, built on performant and cost- and energy-efficient processors like the Intel Gaudi 3 AI accelerator, that also address complexity, fragmentation, data security and compliance requirements.

Introducing Gaudi 3 for AI Training and Inference

The Intel Gaudi 3 AI accelerator will power AI systems with up to tens of thousands of accelerators connected through the common standard of Ethernet. Intel Gaudi 3 promises 4x more AI computing for BF16 and a 1.5x increase in memory bandwidth over its predecessor. The accelerator will deliver a significant leap in AI training and inference for global enterprises looking to deploy GenAI at scale.
