Intel Lancaster Sound, next-gen data-center GPU?<\/h2>\n

The family of Intel’s ‘flexible’ data center GPUs certainly had their ups and downs, but the future for \u201cSound\u201d SKUs is not stopping at Arctic series. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Intel Xe-HP architecture, codenamed Arctic Sound, has been put on hold after nearly 2 years of teasing. This series of GPUs would feature three designs, based on tiled architecture with up to 128 Xe-Cores (512 Execution Units). This family of GPUs was never commercialized, meaning no products were ever announced. Intel is supposedly using this architecture for its own internal purposes.<\/p>\n

Its place was taken by products based on Xe-HPG (gaming) architecture and DG2 GPUs, known as Arctic Sound-M family. Here we now have two products, either carrying ACM-G10 GPU or two ACM-G11 GPUs. Intel is marketing them as flexible data center GPUs with strong media streaming capability.<\/p>\n

A successor to Arctic Sound-M might be called “Lancaster Sound”, as discovered by SteakisGood:<\/p>\n

This codename appears only for a split second in Intel official video with upcoming silicon roadmap:<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no information on Lancaster Sound is available today, however one might guess it will be based either or an entirely new architecture, or continue using gaming-centered Xe-HPG GPU series. In this case, Lancaster could be using Xe\u00b2-HPG which is indented for Arc Battlemage series.<\/p>\n

The picture above clearly shows DG2 GPU, but this might just be a placeholder. The next-gen data-center GPU was previously rumored to be called Jupiter Sound, which may now be a successor to Lancaster, or something that was scrapped along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
