  "summary": "Intel has unveiled its GPU D-series for data centers, a graphics processor previously known by the codename Crescent Island. Unveiled at the Open Compute Project Global Summit, the accelerator features up to 480GB of LPDDR5X memory. TechRadar reports that Intel chose this memory technology, which is commonly used in laptops, over GDDR7 to prioritize memory capacity and power efficiency for AI inference workloads rather than conventional gaming.\n\nThe D-series sets a new GPU memory record, surpassing Nvidia’s Blackwell Ultra B300, which offers 288GB of HBM3e memory, according to TechRadar. Intel states the single card can support large language models with up to 300 billion parameters, while an eight-GPU system can accommodate models exceeding one trillion parameters. These capabilities are intended for enterprise AI services, robotics, simultaneous inference requests, and lengthy prompts.",
