Intel plans to ship its Crescent Island AI GPU in 2026, targeting Nvidia and AMD on cost and power efficiency. The chip uses cheaper LPDDR5X memory and is designed to run in air-cooled server racks rather than requiring exotic liquid-cooling setups. Intel is aiming at AI inference workloads rather than the most demanding training tasks where Nvidia dominates.
