Intel has detailed the company’s Ponte Vecchio Xe-HPC GPU at Hot Chips 34. In the provided benchmarks, the chipmaker claims that Ponte Vecchio delivers up to 2.5x more performance than the Nvidia A100. But, as customary, take vendor-provided benchmarks with a pinch of salt. Ponte Vecchio outperformed the A100 by significant margins in several Intel-selected…
Intel’s keynote at the International Supercomputing Conference came with a new roadmap as it works towards its daunting goal of delivering Zettascale-class performance by 2027. As you can see in Intel’s Super Compute Silicon Roadmap above, today’s announcements include the first details of Intel’s Rialto Bridge GPUs, the next generation of its yet-to-be-launched Ponte Vecchio…
Intel demonstrated a number of yet-to-be-released products at its annual Intel Vision event. These products are the upcoming Meteor Lake processors for client PCs due in 2023, Sapphire Rapids CPU for datacenters and supercomputers, and Ponte Vecchio compute GPU for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. For the first time Intel publicly demonstrated its Sapphire Rapids with…
Over the past few months, we have seen two out of three 2022 compute GPUs for AI and HPC applications from leading developers — AMD’s Instinct MI250X OAM module based on the codenamed Aldebaran dual-tile GPU as well as Nvidia’s H100 SXM5 module featuring the GH100 GPU. Time to meet the third contender — Intel’s Ponte Vecchio. Last week Intel…
Intel dropped a ton of new information during its Intel Architecture Day 2021, and you can check out our other articles for deep dives into the Alder Lake CPUs, Sapphire Rapids, Arc Alchemist GPU, and more. That last one is particularly relevant to what we will discuss here, Intel’s Ponte Vecchio and the Xe HPC…
Intel made a slew of announcements at the International Supercomputing (ISC) 2021 conference today, talking up its broad range of solutions for supercomputing and HPC applications. The big news on the hardware front is that Intel’s Ponte Vecchio GPUs will come in an OAM form factor that purportedly consumes up to 600W per package. The…
Intel made a slew of announcements at the International Supercomputing (ISC) 2021 conference today, talking up its broad range of solutions for supercomputing and HPC applications. The big news on the hardware front is that Intel’s Sapphire Rapids data center chips would come with HBM memory, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, and support for CXL 1.1. Additionally, Intel…
Intel’s graphics guru Raja Koduri on Wednesday once again teased his Twitter followers with an animated image of how the company’s Ponte Vecchio compute GPU will be made. He posted the teaser just a day after it was revealed that the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre will use Intel’s upcoming Sapphire Rapids CPUs as well as Ponte Vecchio compute…
