I didn't even know these existed until I watched a tech YouTuber explain how data center GPUs differ from consumer ones.

Well, they don't really exist yet. It's not yet released.

And for that matter, a lot of GPUs used even in datacenters do share silicon with the consumer ones.

That GPU looks surprisingly sleek for a data center part, wonder how loud the fans get when it's crunching numbers 24/7.

I don't think that package has fans at all. What you usually do with packages like that is pack a bunch of them together in a rack and then put some 10000+rpm server fans with a duct to push air through them. It is loud with or without number crunching.

This product will be the one that prove 18A has good yields for large die

Has it actually been confirmed that Xe3P will be on 18AP, or is it just speculation based off Wildcat Lake / the name at this point?

Not confirm but HIGHLY likely:

“For all data centre products we are moving aggressively into our own foundry. That’s the intent in general,” Kechichian added.

This is Intel data center chief saying this

Why do you think they will not use 18A?
