Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 is a workstation graphics card that launched in Q1 2023. It is built on the Generation 12.5 GPU microarchitecture (codename Ponte Vecchio) and is manufactured on a 10 nm process.

Memory

The Data Center GPU Max 1100 has 48 GB of HBM2e memory, with a 600 MHz memory clock and a 8,192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 1.23 Tb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Data Center GPU Max 1100 includes 7,168 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,000 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,550 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 448 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering. Additionally, the GPU features 56 ray tracing units dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The Data Center GPU Max 1100 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. Intel recommends a power supply of at least 700 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 300 W.
