Intel has found its first cloud customer for its Gaudi 3 AI accelerator chip: IBM Cloud.<\/p>\n

IBM and Intel on Thursday said IBM Cloud will begin offering Gaudi 3 to customers early next year. The chip\u2019s accelerators will be available for both hybrid and on-premise environments, and IBM says it plans to enable support for Gaudi 3 within its Watsonx AI and data platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlocking the full potential of AI requires an open and collaborative ecosystem that provides customers with choice and accessible solutions,\u201d Justin Hotard, general<\/a> manager of Intel\u2019s data center and AI division, said in a statement. \u201cBy integrating Gaudi 3 AI accelerators and Xeon CPUs with IBM Cloud, we are creating new AI capabilities and meeting the demand for affordable, secure, and innovative AI computing solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaudi 3, unveiled in December 2023, was meant to be Intel\u2019s answer to AI chips from rivals Nvidia and AMD. It\u2019s the end of the line for the Gaudi series<\/a> of accelerators Intel got through its $2 billion acquisition of Habana Labs in 2019. <\/p>\n

Intel earlier this year showed<\/a> off Gaudi 3 reference designs that partners like Lenovo, Dell, HPE and Super Micro could use in servers. The designs include a new form of Ethernet connectivity designed to compete with Nvidia\u2019s InfiniBand connectivity technology<\/a>. They also pair Gaudi 3 chips with Intel\u2019s Xeon 6 processor series.<\/p>\n

But Gaudi 3 arrived at a precarious time for Intel, which has been strongly disadvantaged by Nvidia\u2019s incumbency.<\/p>\n

In April, Intel said that it expected to generate revenue of $500 million from Gaudi 3 in 2024 \u2014 a paltry sum compared to the $3.5 billion AMD expects to rake in from sales of its Instinct MI300-series GPUs, and the $40 billion Nvidia expects from its data center business. Gaudi 3 delivers impressively high performance on the dollar, early benchmarks show<\/a>, but bringing on board customers who already have strong relationships with Nvidia is presenting a challenge.<\/p>\n

In July, Intel CTO Greg Lavender optimistically said that the company could take second place in the AI chip market behind Nvidia. A month later, after posting a $1.6 billion loss for Q2, Intel said that it would eliminate 15,000 jobs and aggressively cut costs to save $10 billion in 2025.<\/p>\n

To make a bad situation worse for Intel, Nvidia intends to ramp up production of its next-generation AI chip, Blackwell, in Q4 after a brief manufacturing delay. Blackwell will offer up to four times the performance of the H100, the chip Gaudi 3 compares favorably against.<\/p>\n

Intel has made a point<\/a> of not providing comparisons with Blackwell, saying that it can\u2019t until Blackwell chips are publicly available. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
