has officially announced its D-series Crescent Island inference graphics cards, headlined by the flagship D270 SKU. Based on the GPU microarchitecture, the D270 features 32 Xe3P cores and 256 XMX engines utilizing 16-deep processing for AI tasks.
The hardware includes 32 MB of unified L2 cache, 1 MB of register files per core, and 512 KB of L1 cache per core. Designed for AI inferencing, the 350W PCIe 5.0 x16 card supports FP4 and FP8 formats, 480 GB of , and handles a 100K context window.
While it lacks graphics output elements, the air-cooled accelerator includes a media engine with four encoders and decoders. This specialized silicon, revealed via a bare die shot on Intel's site, prioritizes high-density vector and matrix engine performance.
