Intel unveils new artificial intelligence chip Gaudi 3

Intel has unveiled its new AI chip, called Gaudi 3. The company says it is more than 2 times more power efficient and can run AI models 1.5 times faster than the Nvidia H100 GPU.

Gaudi 3 comes in various configurations, such as a set of 8 Gaudi 3 chips on a single motherboard or a card that can be embedded into existing systems. In addition, the chip has high performance and is capable of processing large amounts of data, making it an ideal solution for artificial intelligence tasks.

The chip has been tested on models such as Meta* Llama and Falcon. The report states that Gaudi 3 can help train or deploy models such as OpenAI's Stable Diffusion and Whisper.

Gaudi 3 will be available to customers in the third quarter, and companies such as Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Supermicro will build systems on these chips. The price range for the new chips has not yet been announced.

The AI ​​market for data centers is also expected to grow as cloud providers and enterprises build infrastructure to deploy the software, suggesting there is room for other competitors even if Nvidia continues to make the vast majority of AI chips.

The Gaudi 3 is built on 5nm technology, suggesting the company is using a third-party foundry. In addition to developing Gaudi 3, Intel also plans to produce chips at a new plant in Ohio, expected to open in 2027 or 2028.
