Intel launches new AI accelerator to take on Nvidia’s H100.
Intel first introduced its Gaudi 3 AI accelerator last year, but now the company has revealed more details on performance. When compared to the H100 GPU, Intel says its Gaudi 3 accelerator can deliver “50% faster time-to-train on average across the Llama2 models” with better efficiency.
The company also says the Gaudi 3 AI Accelerator will be a “fraction of the cost” of Nvidia’s pricey H100. It will become available to companies like Dell, HPE, and Lenovo in the second quarter of this year.
