IntelAs was made clear in the first quarter earnings call held late last month, Falcon Shores GPU It will launch later in 2025. The processor is being redesigned to fit the needs of the AI industry, according to HPCwire.
Intel CEO Pat Kissinger says Falcon Shores will combine a fully programmable architecture with the superior system performance of the Gaudi 3 gas pedal.Smooth and seamless upgrade between two generations of hardware..
Intel says the AI industry is moving to higher-level software abstractions such as Python or Triton, using open software platforms to reduce dependencies.
And Intel's software stack is maturing to remove the hurdles of moving from the Gaudi family of gas pedals to Falcon Shores.Falcon Shores to be compatible with more AI use casesThis includes all the parts that have been implemented on the Gaudi gas pedal.
Looking ahead.Intel to Execute Radical Roadmap on Falcon Shores Product Line: As reported earlier, Kissinger said last year that the second generation of the series is expected to be released in 2026.
The wave of generative AI has pushed Intel to redesign the Falcon Shores GPU to meet industry changes: the original version of this processor was an XPU, similar to AMD's Instinct MI300A, with both an integrated CPU and GPU.
But the booming AI industry has led to a waning demand for traditional HPC chips.Intel discarded the first version of the Falcon Shores design in this context.The processor is currently positioned for the AI and data center space.
