Update 03-05-2025:Added more information on Intel’s Guadi 3 and corrected supported data formats.Intel formally introduced its Gaudi 3 accelerator for AI workloads today. The new processors are slower than Nvidia’s popular H100 and H200 GPUs for AI and HPC, so Intel is betting the success of its Gaudi 3 on its lower price and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Intel’s Gaudi 3 processor uses two chiplets that pack 64 tensor processor cores (TPCs, 256x256 MAC structure with FP32 accumulators), eight matrix multiplication engines (MMEs, 256-bit wide vector processor), and 96MB of on-die SRAM cache with a 19....
