Intel’s Crescent Island PCB Leaks, Showing a Massive Xe3P GPU, 16-Pin Connector, 160GB LPDDR5X as Intel Sidesteps the HBM Shortage

Leaked PCB photos appear to show Intel’s upcoming Crescent Island PCIe inference accelerator.

The board reportedly uses a large Xe3P-based GPU and 20 LPDDR5X memory sites for up to 160GB total.

Hardware details also include a 16-pin power connector and a test USB-C port.

The leak suggests Intel may favor LPDDR5X over HBM, potentially lowering cost and easing supply for AI hardware.
