The next generation of AI accelerators from Intel is finally here. At the Intel Vision event on April 9, 2024, the tech giant finally showed off the Intel Gaudi 3 AI Accelerator. This accelerator is set to compete with Nvidia’s AI GPUs, and we’ve finally gotten a good look at it.
The Gaudi 3 from Intel is based on a 5nm process node, putting it in direct competition with Nvidia’s upcoming H100 GPUs. For a while now, the Gaudi AI Accelerators have been the only competitor for Nvidia in this market, and it’s only set to heat up. The Intel Gaudi 3 will make use of the latest 5th Gen Tensor Core architecture, with two compute dies featuring 64 tensor cores.

The GPUs will get up to 3.7 TB/s bandwidth and 128GB capacities, thanks to the eight HBM sites. Each of these is packed with 8-hi stacks of 16 Gb HBM2e. It also features a 96 MB cache pool across the two dies. The whole chip is built using the TSMC 5nm process node tech, with a total of 24 200GbE interconnect links.
The Gaudi 3 will be available in both Mezzanine OAM form factor, or HL-325L. This has up to 900W standard and liquid-cooled variants of over 900W. The Gaudi 3 HL-338 PCle will feature up to 600W TDP and have passive cooling. Besides these stats, it features all the OAM variant specifications.
