usertests This confirms the GPU will use 32GB (8 GB) modules, the highest capacity modules out there for LPDDR5X currently on the market. 32 GB/Gb != 8 GB, and it's wrong anyway, since we've just seen that Gorgon Halo is using 24 GB LPDDR5X modules, 8 of them, to reach 192 GB. There's 20 modules on the card. Leakers are saying Crescent Island can also use 24 GB modules, to triple the current capacity to 480 GB. Or 16 GB modules for 320 GB. https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-crescent-island-gpu-to-support-lpddr5x-9600-memory-and-1-5-tb-s-bandwidth2057321586642858006 View: https://x.com/yuuki_ans/status/2057321586642858006 2057352001344983485 View: https://x.com/harukaze5719/status/2057352001344983485 Reply
Notton It's basically the same idea as Apple's M Max/Pro and AMD's next gen gaming GPUs, and Strix/Medusa Halo. What remains to be seen is LPDDR5X availability by the time the new chips get released. Currently, it's bad enough that Samsung reduced production volume of their Galaxy smartphones just to meet data center demands. Reply
