Almost 6 months after I first published my exclusive, Intel has confirmed the existence of an absolute monstrous MCM-based Intel Arctic Sound GPU with 4-tiles and up to 16,384 cores. The chip is alive and well deep in Intel's labs and the company showed off the raw power it can wield in the recently held architecture day.

Almost six months ago to date, I was the first person to tell you Intel's 4-tile Arctic Sound is going to have 2048 EUs and roughly 36 TFLOPs of compute (based on a clock speed assumption of 1.1 GHz). Since each EU equates roughly to 8 cores, you are essentially looking at an MCM GPU that has 16,384 cores in total! It also looks like my clock speed assumptions were too conservative because Intel benchmarked the exact same card running at 1.3 GHz with a resounding 42 TFLOPs of FP32 compute and near-perfect (x3.993) scaling on a 4-tile MCM GPU.
