FYI This new Intel AI processor is a hybrid. It contains both x86 and GPU processing. This is why it requires 1500w.

NVIDIA Grace Hopper GH200 superchip with 72 ARM cores and GPU ( 132 SMs and 528 Tensor cores ) consumes from 400W to 1000W.

With such TDP Intel's superchip ( GPU + x86 CPU cores ) doesn't have good future.

better start building some fusion cores, ZPMs etc...
Exactly, fusion reactors will have to be integrated on processor dies, everything else would be too distant.

Benchmark Scores Who cares
The Aurora supercomputer runs Ponte Veccio:
Aurora (supercomputer) - Wikipedia
Intel Xe - Wikipedia

So it does perform, but sheesh that power use.

This isn't a GPU, it's a compute processor with no display outputs. Please stop with stupid clickbait headlines like these.

Maybe GPU- General Purpose Unit?

Makes no difference really, These are not for us, and super computers use sick amounts of power anyway, so will it really matter to them as uses them? Maybe/maybe not. For me, ambivalence is the feeling.

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
What the actual hell !?!
Was not expecting that from Intel but I don't keep up with professional GPUs at all. I guess there is indeed a tremendous market for such a beast now that the AI craze is upon us.
From someone in the industry DCs are ramping up water cooled racks something fierce even with current gen stuff.

Software A lot.
Benchmark Scores Its fast. Enough.
Just because it can't output graphics directly doesn't mean it can't process it and output via network. In case of Ponte Vecchio it can. It even supports ray-tracing.
Same with NVIDIA data center offerings supporting MIG and/or GRID to remotely share virtual instances for 3D applications.

To be fair a CPU can do it too. We have reached the point the branding is going to hurt the gaming community when the powers that be look at this absurd power consumption and the lot of us get more rules and regulations from it.

It's really a advanced math accelerator with dedicated memory.

Apparently we're going to need CARB for computers wrt AI energy usage.

I wonder when countries will realize the impact of AI:

and then consider their choices of putting massive data centers in countries where majority of electricity is generated using fossil fuels.

They should be forced to be self sufficient for power generation.
