Intel Lake Crest Chip For DNN Learning Detailed - 32 GB HBM2 at 1 TB/s

Intel has further detailed their Lake Crest chip that will be aiming at the deep neural network sector. The new chip will be based around the Nervana platform which would deliver an unprecedented amount of compute density in silicon that delivers more raw power than modern GPUs. With the rise of AI learning in the tech industry, GPU makers such as NVIDIA and AMD have made chips that are specifically designed for DNN (Deep Neural Network) workloads. Intel wants to enter this ground with the Lake Crest silicon which is said to deliver more raw power than the fastest DNN GPUs available today. The chip will feature technology developed by the deep-learning startup, Nervana.
