Intel® Max Series Product Family for HPC
Architected for the future compute demands of HPC and AI workloads, the Intel® Max Series processors (CPUs and GPUs) are designed to accelerate science and discovery by delivering breakthrough performance and unblocking the bottlenecks for memory-bound workloads.
Maximize Bandwidth. Maximize Impact.
Introducing the Intel® Max Series processors (CPUs and GPUs) architected for the future compute demands of HPC and AI workloads.
Intel® Xeon® CPU Max Series
Maximize bandwidth with the Intel® Xeon® CPU Max Series, the first and only x86-based processor with high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Architected to supercharge the Intel® Xeon® architecture with HBM, Max Series CPUs deliver up to 4.8X better performance compared to competition on real-world HPC and AI workloads1 and feature:
Up to 56 performance cores constructed of four tiles and connected using Intel’s embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB) technology.
64GB of ultra-high-bandwidth in-package memory plus support for PCI Express 5.0 and CXL1.1 I/O.
Up to 1.14GB of HBM capacity per core.
Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series
Maximize impact with the Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series, Intel’s highest performing, highest density, general-purpose discrete GPU, which packs over 100 billion transistors into a package and contains up to 128 Xe Cores – Intel’s foundational GPU compute building block. Intel Max Series GPUs feature:
408 MB of L2 cache based on discrete SRAM technology and 64 MB of L1 cache.
Up to 128 Ray Tracing units on each Intel Max Series GPU for accelerating scientific visualization and animation.
AI-boosting Intel® Xe Matrix Extensions (Intel® XMX) with deep systolic arrays enabling vector and matrix capabilities in a single device.
