Intel's canceled 'Arctic Sound' AI GPU prototype surfaces

An engineering sample of Intel's canceled 'Arctic Sound' data center GPU, originally showcased in 2020 as part of the Xe-HP family, has surfaced. This prototype, intended for AI workloads, featured a dual-tile design with 960 Execution Units and 32GB of HBM2E memory, but was ultimately canceled due to high production costs. Intel later reworked aspects of Arctic Sound into the 'Arctic Sound-M' for the Data Center GPU Flex series, utilizing the Xe-HPG microarchitecture. AI
