Intel's Cancelled 'Arctic Sound' Xe-HP Multi-Tile GPU Engineering Sample Surfaces
An engineering sample of Intel's previously cancelled "Arctic Sound" AI GPU has recently been pictured. This prototype, based on the original Xe-HP architecture, features a multi-tile design with two tiles and 32GB of HBM2E memory. The GPU was originally intended as a data center AI processor.
An engineering sample of Intel's "Arctic Sound" Xe-HP multi-tile GPU has recently surfaced, providing a look at the company's previously cancelled data center prototype.
This AI processor, which was part of Intel's long-lost development efforts, is based on the original Xe-HP architecture. The pictured sample features a multi-tile design, specifically configured with two tiles. It is also equipped with 32GB of HBM2E memory.
The "Arctic Sound" project was ultimately discontinued by Intel, making the appearance of this engineering sample noteworthy for those interested in the company's historical GPU development for artificial intelligence applications.
According to Tom's Hardware, the sample highlights aspects of Intel's past intentions for the data center market.
