How much VRAM does the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 have?

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 has 48 GB of HBM2e with 1229 GB/s memory bandwidth.

What is the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 best for?

With 48 GB of VRAM, the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 is ideal for running 70B-class models at Q4 quantization and large MoE models, a workstation sweet spot for local inference.

What LLMs can the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 run locally?

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 can run 57 of the 94 open-weight models tracked by CanItRun natively in VRAM at 8k context. Top options include: Qwen 3.8 27B at Q8_0, Muse Glimmer 30B at Q8_0, Ornith 1.5 9B at FP32.

Can the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 run Gemma 4 31B?

Yes. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 runs Gemma 4 31B natively in VRAM at Q8_0 quantization, achieving approximately 23.4 tokens per second.

Can the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 run Qwen 3.6 27B?

Yes. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 runs Qwen 3.6 27B natively in VRAM at Q8_0 quantization, achieving approximately 27.3 tokens per second.

Can the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 run Qwen3 8B?

Yes. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 runs Qwen3 8B natively in VRAM at FP32 quantization, achieving approximately 24.1 tokens per second.

Can I rent the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 instead of buying it?

Yes: RunPod and similar cloud GPU providers let you rent Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 instances by the hour, with no long-term contract. This is often cheaper than buying if you only need it occasionally, and lets you try the GPU before committing to a purchase.

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 57 of our 94 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 57 models natively. It handles 70B-class models at Q4 quantization.

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.
