Although it is not yet very clear how to count them
Intel recently showed off the Xe-HPC (Ponte Vecchio) graphics processor, which everyone then thought consisted of 12 chiplets.
Intel has created a monster. The Xe-HPC GPU actually contains not 12, but 41 chiplets
In fact, everyone was wrong. Today Raja Koduri decided to add fuel to the fire by stating that, in fact, the GPU consists of 41 chiplets!
In fact, it is not very clear how exactly this number is implemented there because there are a total of 10 side chips, and an odd number remains for two identical central clusters. But, apparently, we do not yet know how to count correctly.
In any case, this is some incredible amount of crystals, thanks to which Intel’s new product becomes one of the most interesting products of the near future.
Koduri also provided a snapshot of the Mandelbrot fractal, hinting at the performance of Xe-HPC. Still, without details about the calculation time and depth, we cannot estimate this very performance.
