32 GB HBM2, 1 TB/s Bandwidth, 8 Tb/s Access Speeds, More Raw Power Than Modern GPUs


The discrete co-processor will feature a total of 32 GB of HBM2 memory. This will come in the form of four 8-Hi stacks which will deliver a total of 1 TB/s memory speeds at the rated clock speeds of 2 GHz. The Lake Crest chips will be available for testing during first half of 2017 and will be sampled to limited partners in the second half of 2017. Also to note is that the memory access speeds are rated at a whooping 8 Terabits per second.

even has interlinks like NVlink
 
Intel has also revealed that the chip will be highly scalable which is something their CEO, Brian Krzanich, has already stated to be the path forward for AI learning. The chip will feature 12 bidirectional high-bandwidth links and seamless data transfer via the interconnects. These proprietary inter-chip links will provide bandwidth up to 20 times faster than PCI Express links.
 
 
 
It might also be the reason Nvidia may fast track volta to get ahead of intel , if intel's lake crest beats pascal Seeing that lake crest comes out this year
