Intel to launch \'Crescent Island\' AI inference GPU this year using LPDDR5 instead of HBM
Intel will ship a limited run of its AI inference-focused GPU, Crescent Island, within this year, the Financial Times reported. Keivork Ketchichian, who leads Intel\'s data centre group, said the product targets inference rather than training. Intel is emphasising costs by using LPDDR5 memory instead of high-bandwidth memory and opting for air cooling over liquid cooling. Intel is also reviewing possible sales in China within U.S. export rules.
