IBM and Intel will offer, as a service, Intel® Gaudi® 3 AI accelerators in early 2025 on IBM Cloud as part of a worldwide collaboration. This will give businesses a better, more cost-effective way to scale enterprise AI-secure and resilient. The integration will also extend Gaudi 3 support to IBM’s watsonx AI and data platform, marking IBM Cloud as the first cloud service provider to embrace Gaudi 3 for hybrid and on-premise environments.

Why It Matters
From a strategic perspective, generative AI has the power to drive transformational business outcomes, but its intensive compute needs make performance, cost, energy efficiency, and security paramount. The problems described above are foreseen to be solved with the partnership of Intel and IBM, which will reduce the total cost of ownership associated with AI, increase performance, and give companies more control over their software stack. Teaming Gaudi 3 with 5th Gen Xeon extends support to AI workloads both in the cloud and data centers for enterprise AI management—much simpler and more efficient.
Gaudi 3 will be integrated with IBM’s watsonx AI platform for generative AI inferencing workloads, allowing clients to explore even more infrastructure options to scale their AI into hybrid cloud environments and optimizing model inferencing to better price the performance.
“IBM is committed to driving AI and hybrid cloud innovation to meet our clients where they are,” said Alan Peacock, General Manager, IBM Cloud. “By integrating Intel’s Gaudi 3 accelerators, we are delivering an AI solution that is both flexible and built to maximize cost performance while opening up new opportunities for enterprises to be innovative and more effective in the deployment of AI solutions.”
The collaboration will exploit the strength of IBM Cloud in security and compliance to enable Gaudi 3 capabilities across industries facing stringent regulatory requirements.
Key Benefits
Scalability and Flexibility: IBM Cloud and Intel together serve flexible solutions that allow scaling of computing resources by business organizations as and when necessary. It may result in cost savings and enhancement of operational efficiency.
Performance Improvements and Increased Security: Integrating the Gaudi 3 into IBM Cloud Virtual Servers for VPC upgrades provides speed and security for applications, driving even greater user experiences.
Conclusion
The partnership between IBM and Intel has led to years of innovative enterprise AI. As the Gaudi 3 service is expected to be offered early in 2025 and other significant updates later this year, you can explore more on Intel’s Gaudi 3 AI accelerators Web page.
