Intel's AI roadmap won't be affected by the "harshly implemented" restructuring policy, as Team Blue confirms that Falcon Shores & Gaudi GPUs are on track.
Intel is undergoing a rough business patch, probably one of the toughest financial periods the firm has witnessed in its history. Amid this, uncertainties surround how Team Blue will move forward in terms of planned consumer and clientele lineups, mainly since the firm is taking drastic measures to reduce spending and ultimately recover losses. However, Intel has come forward and clarified that their AI GPU lineups, existing and future ones, won't have any impact from the restructuring measures and that they are pretty optimistic about their accelerator portfolio.
HPCWire reports that an Intel representative has verified that both Falcon Shores and Gaudi AI GPU lineups are right on schedule. The firm believes that global client, edge, and data center businesses are expected to benefit tremendously from Intel's AI roadmap, which is why Team Blue has decided to proceed with them without causing any delays. Here is what the spokesperson said:
For those unaware, Intel's Falcon Shores AI GPUs are set to be a "pivotal" product for the firm when it comes to making a stride in the AI markets since Team Blue has decided to opt with TSMC completely this time, and by far, this move is working out for them, in the case of Lunar Lake SoCs. Intel plans on adopting an aggressive product portfolio with Falcon Shores rather than just "specializing" in a set of products, which means that it will diversify the lineup to cater to all types of client segments.
In terms of specifications, it is an aid that Falcon Shores will debut with TSMC's 3nm process and CoWoS-R packaging, with a reported TDP of 1500W.
