Intel names crescent island the GPU D270
The first Crescent Island card is an air-cooled PCIe CEM part named the D270, with a 350W design and up to 480GB of LPDDR5X.
| Intel GPU D270 | |
|---|---|
| Xe Cores | 32 |
| XMX Engines | 256 |
| GPU Clockspeed | ~2.5GHz |
| Peak Matrix Throughput (FP8) | 1.3 PFLOPS |
| Memory | 480GB LPDDR5X (ODMs); 160GB LPDDR5X (Intel) |
| Memory Bandwidth | 1.5TB/sec |
| TDP | 350W |
| Form Factor | PCIe CEM (Air Cooled) |
The D270 puts 32 Xe cores and 256 XMX engines behind 1.3 PFLOPS of FP8 compute.
Intel published up to 480GB of LPDDR5X as the maximum memory configuration. That number does not prove the card can hold a useful model, because price, measured tokens per second, and load power draw are missing.
The 350W air-cooled PCIe CEM design puts the card in ordinary server slots rather than flagship accelerator territory. The remaining question is whether LPDDR5X bandwidth can keep the matrix engines fed at scale.
The OCP summit write-up still leaves launch date, price, measured FP8 throughput, efficiency against a 600W competitor, and token latency under a named workload unmeasured.
Exact ODM memory configurations beyond the published 480GB maximum remain unmeasured.
The D270 is a power-constrained inference card, not a flagship replacement.
