Intel Gaudi-3 AI Accelerator 128GB HBM2e 200GbE

Brand:

The Intel Gaudi 3 AI Accelerator is a purpose-built enterprise AI accelerator for large language model training, inference, fine-tuning and multimodal workloads. Its architecture combines 64 Tensor Processor Cores, 8 Matrix Multiplication Engines, 128GB HBM2e and 3.7TB/s memory bandwidth with integrated Ethernet-based RoCE v2 networking. Gaudi 3 is positioned as Intel's fifth-generation Gaudi accelerator and provides an open, Ethernet-based scale-out approach for data-center AI infrastructure.

OVERVIEW

  • The Intel Gaudi 3 is a high-performance AI accelerator designed for enterprise LLM, generative AI and multimodal training and inference. Compatibility: available in Intel Gaudi 3 platforms, including PCIe Gen5 x16 HL-338 implementations and supported OEM servers. Model comparison: Gaudi 3 advances beyond Gaudi 2 with higher compute, memory bandwidth and networking capacity. 

USE CASES

  • Large language model training — 128GB of HBM2e and 3.7TB/s bandwidth provide substantial local high-bandwidth memory for large AI model workloads. 
  • LLM inference and serving — High memory capacity helps accommodate larger models while integrated Ethernet networking supports scalable multi-accelerator deployments.
  • Generative AI platforms — The combination of matrix engines, tensor processors and high-bandwidth memory targets production GenAI workloads rather than general-purpose compute. 
  • Enterprise RAG infrastructure — Intel specifically positions Gaudi 3 for enterprise RAG workloads, making it relevant to private knowledge-search and AI assistant platforms. 
  • Multimodal AI — A dedicated media engine supports image and video decoding and preprocessing, complementing compute-intensive multimodal applications. 
  • AI model fine-tuning — The accelerator is designed for training and inference workloads, providing a hardware foundation for adapting models to enterprise datasets.
  • AI data-center scale-out — Integrated 200GbE RoCE v2 networking enables direct accelerator-to-accelerator communication without requiring a proprietary interconnect fabric. 
  • Private enterprise AI clusters — Standard Ethernet connectivity gives infrastructure teams an approach that can integrate with Ethernet-based data-center networking.

KEY FEATURES

  • 64 Tensor Processor Cores — Purpose-built programmable TPCs accelerate tensor and deep-learning operations, giving AI infrastructure dedicated compute resources rather than relying exclusively on host CPUs. 
  • 8 Matrix Multiplication Engines — Dedicated MME hardware accelerates matrix operations central to neural-network workloads, helping improve efficiency for AI training and inference. 
  • 128GB HBM2e memory — High-capacity HBM2e allows larger AI models and datasets to remain close to the accelerator, potentially reducing memory-related bottlenecks. 
  • 3.7TB/s HBM bandwidth — High memory throughput feeds AI compute engines rapidly, benefiting bandwidth-intensive model training and inference workloads. 
  • Up to 1.8 PFLOPS FP8/BF16 compute — High theoretical AI compute capability provides substantial parallel processing capacity for supported deep-learning workloads. 
  • 24 × 200GbE RoCE v2 networking — Integrated high-speed Ethernet/RDMA connectivity enables scalable accelerator communication using industry-standard Ethernet infrastructure. 
  • 9.6Tb/s bidirectional networking capacity — High aggregate networking capacity helps reduce communication constraints when scaling AI accelerators across a cluster. 
  • PCIe Gen5 x16 host interface — A high-bandwidth PCIe interface provides a standard server connection for compatible Gaudi 3 implementations such as the HL-338 PCIe card. 
  • 96MB on-die SRAM — Integrated SRAM provides fast local storage for accelerator operations, helping keep frequently accessed data close to the compute engines.
