Intel has announced an exciting partnership with SK Hynix to power its upcoming Jaguar Shores “Gaudi” GPUs and is also working on a new Arc GPU designed for Edge AI servers.
In a strategic move, Intel plans to introduce brand-new Arc GPUs targeting the Edge AI server market in the fourth quarter of 2025. This collaboration with SK Hynix is set to enhance the capabilities of Intel’s next-gen Jaguar Shores Gaudi accelerators.
During the recent Intel AI Summit 2025 in Seoul, the company shared insights into its future GPU lineup. Intel’s Arc series currently features the Battlemage-powered Arc B-series and Arc Pro B-series products, such as the B580, B570, PRO B60, and PRO B50. These GPUs, unveiled at Computex 2025, are soon to reach their first customers, carving a competitive edge in the graphics and inference workstation market.
Intel is preparing to expand its Arc product line, focusing on bolstering Edge AI development. The anticipated launch is set for late 2025, with expectations that the new Arc GPU may feature the eagerly awaited “Big” Battlemage chip, potentially the BMG-G31. There’s much anticipation about Intel potentially venturing further into gaming applications with this technology.
Additionally, Intel’s partnership with SK Hynix focuses on integrating HBM4 memory into the next-generation Gaudi AI accelerators, known as Jaguar Shores. These GPUs will utilize the advanced 18A process node technologies, including RibbonFET and Backside Power delivery, to enhance efficiency and transistor density.
Jaguar Shores is designed to succeed Falcon Shores, which aimed to merge x86 CPUs with GPUs. Although Falcon Shores and its successor, Rialto Ridge, were eventually scrapped, Jaguar Shores is poised to make a significant impact. The servers powered by Jaguar Shores will incorporate either Granite Rapids or the forthcoming Diamond Rapids Xeon CPUs. Diamond Rapids will also leverage SK Hynix’s MRDIMM Gen2 solutions, offering up to 128 GB of capacity per module. These servers are scheduled for launch next year, coinciding with NVIDIA’s Rubin and AMD’s MI400 GPU AI platforms.
Intel’s innovative strategies and collaborations are setting the stage for transformative changes in both AI and edge computing landscapes, promising to revolutionize the industry.
