Intel unveils Gaudi 3 to take on Nvidia's H100
Intel just unveiled its Gaudi 3 AI accelerator at Vision 2024, claiming it outperforms Nvidia's dominant H100 GPU. Built on TSMC's 5nm process with 128GB of HBM2e memory, Intel says Gaudi 3 runs models like LLaMA up to 1.7x faster and is 2.3x more power-efficient. Air-cooled models roll out in Q3, followed by liquid-cooled units in Q4.
