Intel's latest Gaudi 3 AI processor is priced at around $15,650, which is half the cost of Nvidia's H100. Intel revealed the pricing at Computex 2024, with eight Gaudi 2 processors on a baseboard costing less than one Nvidia B200. The Gaudi 2 accelerators are priced at $65,000 for eight on a baseboard, while the Gaudi 3 processors are priced at $125,000 for eight. This translates to a single Gaudi 2 costing around $8,125 and a Gaudi 3 costing around $15,650 when purchased in bulk with a baseboard. In comparison, Nvidia's H100 80GB cards cost $30,000, with projections for the next-generation B100 GPU and the more powerful GB200 ranging from $30,000 to $70,000. Intel's move to offer Gaudi accelerators at a discount is seen as a strategy to compete with Nvidia in the AI market, where Nvidia currently dominates. Intel faces challenges not only from Nvidia but also from custom in-house-designed AI processors used by cloud service providers like AWS and Google.
