NNP-T 1400 is a neural processor designed by Intel Nervana and introduced in late 2019. Fabricated on TSMC 16 nm process based on the Spring Crest microarchitecture, the NNP-T 1400 has the full 24 TPCs enabled along with 60 MiB of scratchpad memory and operates at up to 1.1 GHz. This chip comes in an OAM accelerator card form factor and incorporates 32 GiB of HBM2 memory. This NPU exposes 16 inter-chip links for scale-out capabilities.

NNP-T 1300 Mezzanine Card.

Peak Performance

The NNP-T 1400 comes in an OCP OAM mezzanine card which enables support for various topologies including ring, hybrid cube mesh, and fully connected.
