Intel Gaudi 2
Chip
AI Accelerator
Prior generation
The Habana chip that put credible MLPerf numbers against the A100.
You're looking at a chip record: what this processor is, its key specs, who designs, manufactures and supplies its parts, and where it gets used.
Gaudi 2 was the first non-NVIDIA merchant chip with competitive public MLPerf training results, and its China-compliant variants sold meaningfully during the 2023 GPU shortage. It carried Intel's AI-accelerator hopes between the Habana acquisition and Gaudi 3.
