… Both can either use the XMX cores inside the Intel Arc GPUs, or "fall back" to a more generic implementation that can be used on other CPUs and even GPUs. XMX inference on Panther Lake is about 3.4 times faster than the fallback method, Intel said. For now, this is a demo, Intel engineers said. …

… More specifically, because Intel's GPU has 25% more memory onboard, it can apparently support a significantly larger context window with the Llama 3.1 8B language model. That means the AI can hold more information in memory, which in turn makes it better able to handle complex queries. …
… Last month Intel announced the Arc Pro B70 with 32GB of GDDR6 video memory for this long-awaited Battlemage G31 graphics card. …
… During recent announcements, the company hinted at a potential strategic entry into the memory chip market, probably to ride the AI wave. …
… It features the full BMG-G31 GPU, which packs 32 Xe2-HPG cores, 256 XMX Engines, 32 RT units, and provides 367 INT8 TOPS for AI workloads. The graphics card features 32 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus interface. The memory is clocked at 19 Gbps, delivering 608 GB/s of total bandwidth. …
… The GPU shows up with its 16.0 GB VRAM in the task manager and seems to be operational. A GPU-z screenshot can show us even more details, especially on that 512-bit bus and what pin speeds were used for the memory. …
… TL;DR: The Intel Arc Pro B70, powered by the BMG-G31 GPU with 32 Xe Cores and 32GB GDDR6 memory, targets AI and workstation users. Priced at $949, it outperforms NVIDIA's RTX PRO 4000 in affordability and AI performance, becoming the top-selling workstation graphics card on Newegg. …
