What to expect from the Intel D270 GPU?

Explain Like I'm Normal

Intel's new D-Series Data Center GPUs are making waves with massive VRAM capacities up to 480GB, potentially solving the memory bottleneck for massive open-weight models like Llama 3 405B. While it lacks CUDA support, the 1.5TB/s bandwidth makes it a serious contender for inference-heavy workstations. Builders are now debating if Intel's software stack can finally bridge the gap to NVIDIA's dominance.
