Under the spotlight of the tech world, AMD once again became the center of discussion at the "Advancing AI2024" conference in San Francisco, showcasing its latest achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. This grand event on October 10th was not only a celebration of technology but also the beginning of a new chapter in the AI computing domain.
At the conference, AMD unveiled five core products, covering everything from flagship AI chips to server CPUs, AI network cards, DPUs, and mobile processors, demonstrating its ambitious stance in the AI battlefield. The event also attracted industry giants like Google, OpenAI, and Microsoft, who witnessed this shining moment in the AI world together.
AMD's newly released flagship AI chip, the Instinct MI325X GPU, features advanced HBM3E high-bandwidth memory and offers a powerful computing capability of up to 21PFLOPS. Compared to NVIDIA's H200 GPU, the MI325X excels in memory capacity and bandwidth, especially in peak computing power for FP16 and FP8, showing significant advantages.
AMD's roadmap for AI chip development is equally引人注目, with the upcoming MI350 series set to be based on the new CDNA4 architecture. It is expected that the AI peak computing power of the 8-card MI355X will reach an astonishing 74PFLOPS, a prospect that has the industry eagerly anticipating.
With the growing demand for computing power in data centers, AMD also introduced the first AI network card, Pensando Pollara400, supporting the UEC Ultra Ethernet Consortium, and the performance-doubled Pensando Salina400 DPU, ensuring to meet the needs of every data center.
Also garnering attention is AMD's fifth-generation EPYC server CPU, dubbed "the world's best CPU," which uses advanced 3/4nm process technology, supporting up to 192 cores and 384 threads. The top-of-the-line EPYC9965 has a thermal design power of 500W and a starting price of $14,813, significantly outperforming Intel's processors in multiple performance metrics.
Since returning to the data center market in 2017, AMD's market share has surged from 2% in 2018 to 34% in the first half of this year, currently covering over 950 cloud instances and more than 350 OxM platforms worldwide.
AMD also launched the new Ryzen AI PRO300 series of commercial AI mobile processors, with over 100 Ryzen AI PRO PCs expected by 2025, showing AMD's ambition in the AI PC field.
At this event, AMD not only demonstrated the powerful performance of its flagship AI chip but also revealed its future development plans, indicating its commitment to continuous innovation and driving technological advancement in the AI field. Whether through high-performance chips or comprehensive network solutions, AMD's goal is to meet all needs of modern data centers and push AI computing to new heights. For tech enthusiasts, AMD's launch event is undoubtedly a feast of technology, and we look forward to more surprises AMD will bring in the AI era.
