Intel's data center roadmap has been revised, with smaller upgrades Rialto Ridge and Lancaster Sound being removed without replacement, according to a statement by Jeff McVeigh, head of Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics at Intel. 

The decision to focus on Falcon Shores, a chiplet design with AI capabilities that won't launch until 2025, comes after partners deemed the current performance structure of Max Series GPUs sufficient. The Flex series is also being relaunched, and Lancaster Sound has been dropped to create a two-year release rhythm leading up to the larger Melville Sound leap. While Falcon Shores will initially be a pure graphics solution, it will eventually unite CPU, GPU, AI, and memory tiles in a single package. No new graphics solutions for data centers are planned until Falcon Shores launches in 2025.
