Intel Gaudi 3 Supports PCIe and Rack Scale Deployments
Expanding on its AI strategy, Intel introduced new deployment options for Intel Gaudi 3 AI accelerators:
Intel Gaudi 3 PCIe cards support scalable AI inferencing within existing data center server environments. Using AI models such as Llama, customers from small businesses to large enterprises benefit from the flexibility to run models ranging from Llama 3.1 8B to full-scale Llama 4 Scout or Maverick because of the scalable configurations available. Intel Gaudi 3 PCIe cards will be available in the second half of 2025.
Intel Gaudi 3 rack scale system reference designs are built for flexibility and scale, supporting up to 64 accelerators per rack and offering 8.2 terabytes (TB) of high-bandwidth memory. An open, modular design helps avoid vendor lock-in. And with liquid cooling, these systems deliver strong performance and help keep total cost of ownership (TCO) in check.
The Intel Gaudi rack scale architecture is optimized for running large AI models and excels in real-time inferencing with low-latency performance. These configurations reinforce Intel's commitment to open, flexible and secure AI infrastructure, supporting both custom and Open Compute Project (OCP) designs for cloud service providers (CSPs).
