Intel details long-awaited Crescent Island AI GPU at Computex, boasts up to 480 GB of LPDDR5X to combat memory shortages — company shares more details of its Xe3P inference accelerator at Computex

At Computex 2026, Intel unveiled details about its upcoming Data Center GPU, Crescent Island, based on the Xe3P GPU architecture. The GPU will utilize LPDDR5X memory, offering up to 480GB of memory capacity. This design choice aims to maximize memory capacity while maintaining high bandwidth, potentially making Crescent Island more efficient for AI inference tasks. The air-cooled card with modest power requirements is expected to fit into traditional GPU servers, appealing to companies seeking on-premise inferencing solutions. Intel plans to launch Crescent Island in the second half of 2026, with more information expected as the year progresses.
