Intel® Data Center GPU Flex Series

Open Architecture

The Intel® Flex Series GPU supports an open, flexible, standards-based software stack together with oneAPI so developers can build high-performance, cross-architecture applications and solutions. This helps organizations reduce the complexity, cost, and time requirements to bring new solutions to market, enabling engineers and programmers to innovate instead of maintaining code.

Built-In AV1 Encode

Services built on the royalty-free open-source AV1 codec mean lowering operational expenses while providing higher video quality. Advanced video coding (AVC), High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), and VP9 support also comes standard with the Intel Data Center GPU.
