Intel Habana Gaudi2 Purportedly Outperforms Nvidia’s A100
Intel on Wednesday published performance results of its Habana Labs Gaudi2 deep learning processor in MLPerf, a leading DL benchmark. The 2nd Generation Gaudi processor outperforms its main currently available competitor — Nvidia's A100 compute GPU with 80GB of HBM2E memory — by up to 3 times in terms of time-to-train metrics. While Intel's publication does not show how the Gaudi2 performs against Nvidia's H100 GPU, it describes some of Intel's own performance targets for the next-generation of chips. "For ResNet-50…
