Intel Strikes Back at Computex: Crescent Island GPU with 480GB Without HBM

Intel avoids competing with NVIDIA on HBM and instead uses mature, cheap LPDDR5X for high-capacity inference. Pragmatic differentiation, but compute benchmarks and software ecosystem remain weak.

Publish compute benchmarks before H2 2026 sampling, accelerate OneAPI software ecosystem, focus on the differentiated agent inference market.
