This cheaper memory alternative allows Intel to avoid the supply constraints affecting high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used by competitors. The design represents a strategic workaround to maintain AI GPU production amid industry-wide HBM supply issues.", "body_md": "Intel leans on LPDDR5X to dodge global HBM crisis, leaked Crescent Island AI GPU pics reveal massive Xe3P core — chip sidesteps HBM shortage with 160GB of cheaper memory | Tom's Hardware", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/intel-leans-on-lpddr5x-to-dodge-global-hbm-crisis-leaked-crescent-island-ai-gpu", "canonical_source": "https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/pcb-shots-appear-of-intels-crescent-island-revealing-a-single-gpu-setup-and-pads-for-20-lpddr5x-modules", "published_at": "2026-05-21 11:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-21 11:08:44.718930+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "hardware", "semiconductor", "products"], "entities": ["Intel", "LPDDR5X", "Crescent Island", "Xe3P", "HBM", "Tom's Hardware"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/intel-leans-on-lpddr5x-to-dodge-global-hbm-crisis-leaked-crescent-island-ai-gpu", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/intel-leans-on-lpddr5x-to-dodge-global-hbm-crisis-leaked-crescent-island-ai-gpu.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/intel-leans-on-lpddr5x-to-dodge-global-hbm-crisis-leaked-crescent-island-ai-gpu.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/intel-leans-on-lpddr5x-to-dodge-global-hbm-crisis-leaked-crescent-island-ai-gpu.jsonld"}}
