Intel Axes Rialto Bridge GPUs, Delays Falcon Shores to 2025

Citiraj:

Jeff McVeigh, the VP and GM of Intel's super compute group, announced today via a blog post that Intel is canceling its upcoming Rialto Bridge series of data center Max GPUs and moving to a two-year cadence for data center GPU releases. Therefore the company's next data center GPU offerings will come in the form of the Falcon Shores chiplet-based hybrid chips, but the blog notes these will be in production in 2025 — a year later than Intel's previous projections of 2024. These were supposed to arrive as a CPU+GPU architecture in 2024, meaning Intel's positioning against competing AMD and nVidia products, both of which will launch this year, is severely impacted — Intel will now be multiple years late to a key architectural inflection point for the highest-end chips. Additionally, Intel will cancel its upcoming Lancaster Sound GPU for its Flex Series of data center GPUs. These GPUs are designed for lower-intensity work, like media encoding. Instead of pushing forward with Lancaster Sound, Intel will focus on the next-gen Melville Sound products for the Flex series.

Intel tells us that the delayed Falcon Shores will first come with only GPU cores in 2025, but hasn't indicated when it will integrate CPU cores into the design. As such, Intel's HPC-centric designs will lag behind its competitors for several years. Additionally, Intel will be forced to compete with AMD and nVidia's HPC-centric designs with its Xeon CPUs and Ponte Vecchio GPUs for several years, a significant disadvantage. Intel's current-gen Ponte Vecchio GPUs were meant to be followed by Rialto Bridge, the planned next-gen data center GPU slated for 2023. That won't happen now, so Intel will be forced to use Ponte Vecchio to compete with nVidia's Hopper H100, a key shortcoming at a time when LLMs like ChatGPT are coming to the fore and driving billions in Capex investments.
