Max 1550 GPU

The Intel Max 1550 is a datacenter GPU built on Intel's Xe HPC architecture, representing Intel's entry into the high-performance computing and AI accelerator market. As part of Intel's Data Center GPU Max series launched in 2022, the Max 1550 positions itself as an alternative to established players in the server GPU space, though it predates Intel's newer Arc and subsequent generations. The Max 1550 features 128 GB of HBM2e memory with 3,276 GB/s of memory bandwidth, paired with 128 Xe-cores and 1,024 Intel XMX engines for AI workloads. The GPU includes 128 ray tracing units and operates with a base clock of 900 MHz and maximum dynamic clock of 1,600 MHz. With 839 TFLOPS of FP16 performance and a 600W TDP, it targets compute-intensive applications requiring substantial memory capacity. In cloud deployments, the Max 1550 serves workloads that benefit from its large memory pool and oneAPI software ecosystem, particularly in environments where Intel's unified programming model aligns with existing development workflows.
