Crescent Island is based on the company"s Arc Xe 3P architecture which lies inside current Panther Lake iGPs as well. This is Intel"s latest, most powerful card and it packs up to 480 GB of VRAM capacity. Unlike typical high-end professional GPUs which rely on HBM for improving power efficiency, the Intel GPU here has LPDDR5X.
Cooling on the unit is handled by air cooler that can handle a TDP of 350 watts. Intel says that these cards can deal with next generation AI workloads and come with support for a wide range of datatypes and microscaling formats, from native FP4/MXFP4 to FP64, and more.
