Computex 2026: Intel launches Crescent Island GPU with up to 480GB VRAM
Intel unveils its new Crescent Island GPU platform, offering up to 480GB of VRAM in order to deliver loads of memory for demanding AI, HPC, and data-intensive workloads.
TL;DRAI
Intel launched Crescent Island at Computex 2026: a data center GPU on Arc Xe 3P architecture with up to 480GB LPDDR5X VRAM (tripled from 160GB last year) and 350W TDP, aimed at AI inference workloads. The LPDDR5X-over-HBM choice signals a cost-density trade-off; for teams evaluating inference infrastructure, Crescent Island positions Intel as a credible third vendor to benchmark against NVIDIA and AMD.
