Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 has 48 GB VRAM and 1229 GB/s memory bandwidth. It can run 58 of our 99 tracked models natively in VRAM at 8k context.

With 48 GB HBM2e, the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 is a datacenter-tier GPU that can run 58 models natively.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 offers 48GB of HBM2e at 1,229 GB/s in a lower-power (300W) package compared to the 1550. It fits 30B–34B models at Q8, or 70B models at Q3_K_M (Q4_K_M's real-world total is just past this card's effective capacity), and is used in supercomputing installations alongside CPU tiles in the Aurora system at Argonne National Laboratory.

Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100: 2022 Xe-HPC Ponte Vecchio with 48GB HBM2e at 1,229 GB/s, mid-tier Intel HPC GPU.

30B-34B at Q8, or 70B at Q3_K_M (not Q4_K_M, whose ~51GB total exceeds this card's effective capacity), fit in 48GB. Strong bandwidth for datacenter inference.

SYCL/oneAPI gives best performance; llama.cpp SYCL backend supported. Typically cloud/HPC-accessed.
