据快科技报道，英特尔公司计划向中国市场推出特别定制的Gaudi 3 AI芯片，然而，这一“中国特供版”在性能上遭遇了显著削弱。据透露，这些定制芯片包括HL-328 OAM兼容夹层卡和HL-388 PCIe加速卡，预计分别于6月24日和9月24日上市。尽管它们在硬件规格上保持了与原版相似的配置，如96MB SRAM片上内存、128GB HBM2e高带宽内存和3.7TB/s的带宽，以及PCIe 5.0 x16接口和解码标准，但受美国AI芯片出口管制政策的影响，其性能表现受到了严格限制。
美国出口管制规定，出口到中国的AI芯片综合运算性能（TPP）需低于4800。因此，中国特供版Gaudi 3的16bit性能被限制在150 TFLOPS以下，而原版芯片在FP16/BF16模式下的性能高达1835 TFLOPS。这意味着，为了符合美国的出口法规，英特尔不得不将中国特供版Gaudi 3的AI性能下调约92%。这一举措无疑将对依赖高性能AI芯片的中国用户产生重大影响。
英特尔的这一策略反映了全球科技领域日益紧张的贸易环境，尤其是美国对关键科技产品出口的严格控制。尽管中国特供版Gaudi 3芯片在技术规格上与原版保持一致，但在性能上的巨大差距，可能会促使中国本土AI芯片产业寻求更加自主的解决方案，以应对国际市场的不确定性。

Title: Intel’s China-Dedicated Gaudi 3 AI Chip Sees Major Performance Drop to Comply with US Export Controls
According to Fast Tech, Intel plans to introduce a specially customized Gaudi 3 AI chip for the Chinese market. However, this “China-only” variant has seen a significant reduction in performance. Sources indicate that the custom chips consist of the HL-328 OAM compatible mezzanine card and the HL-388 PCIe accelerator card, expected to launch on June 24 and September 24, respectively. Despite maintaining similar hardware specifications to the original, such as 96MB on-chip SRAM, 128GB HBM2e high-bandwidth memory with a 3.7TB/s bandwidth, PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, and decoding standards, their performance is heavily constrained due to US AI chip export regulations.
US export controls mandate that AI chips exported to China should have a total computational performance (TPP) below 4800. As a result, the 16-bit performance of the China-specific Gaudi 3 is restricted to below 150 TFLOPS, compared to the original chip’s 1835 TFLOPS in FP16/BF16 mode. This translates to a roughly 92% reduction in AI performance for the China version to comply with US export laws, which will have a significant impact on Chinese users relying on high-performance AI chips.
Intel’s strategy reflects the escalating tensions in the global tech trade landscape, particularly the stringent control of key tech exports from the US. Despite the technical specifications of the China-dedicated Gaudi 3 mirroring the original, the substantial performance gap may prompt China’s domestic AI chip industry to seek more autonomous solutions to address uncertainties in the international market.
