![]() ![]() AMD chip and AI needsĪMD Instinct MI300 series can speed up processing to the potential required for generative AI and beyond. While investor confidence is important, equally crucial is AMD management's mood and that is definitely exhuberant as is clear from what CEO Su has been saying. But before looking at the negative, Bloomberg puts things in perspective - its said that investors had bid up AMD shares 99% this year. Motley Fool reports that even as the AMD chip was being unveiled, its stock fell even as Nvidia's jumped. Its success is reflected in the fact that shares have skyrocketted - it is up by 163% this year, according to CNBC. AMD vs NvidiaĪt the moment, it is NVIDIA that dominates the AI chip market. "The MI300X is based on the next-gen AMD CDNA 3 accelerator architecture and supports up to 192 GB of HBM3 memory to provide the compute and memory efficiency needed for large language model training and inference for generative AI workloads," the company said. ![]() The condifence stems from the fact that the Instinct MI300X accelerator has been billed as the world's most advanced accelerator for generative AI. She was speaking to Yahoo Finance Live.Īt the rollout of the MI300X, Su said, "We are laser-focused on accelerating the deployment of AMD AI platforms at scale in the data centre, led by the launch of our Instinct MI300 accelerators planned for later this year." Su says that AMD has been working on AI for many years and now, AI will be shaping the future of the company. The chip would be available in the later part of the year.ĪI tech is not something new for AMD. When querried about the price, Su laughed and said, "It is not about the price but how many users we enable." Pricing of the chip, as such, remains unknown. Su said, "There is a tremendous amount of technology here and it is the most complex chip we have ever built with 153 billion transistors and the whole purpose is to make AI much, much more accesible." The chip will serve to help data centers handle the huge surge in AI-linked traffic. GPUs are required to build advanced AI programmes and companies like Sam Altman's OpenAI use these chips to power its products. The chip has one of its most-advanced GPUs (graphics processing units) for artificial intelligence level computing. ![]() MI300X Chip and the power of GPUĪMD is touting the new MI300X as a wonder chip aimed at Large Language Models. She added that AI is the "defining mega trend in technology". In effect, AMD has started a battle for super chips in which it expects to come out a 'winner', according to CEO Lisa Su. And if all that is being said about it comes true, it will grab the spotlight from its arch rival and keep it on itself. Chipmaker AMD, which had seemingly been relegated to a spot very much behind the new darling of the markets, Nvidia, has just hit back hard by doing exactly what was required to make a telling comeback that would actually be noticed - it unveiled its fancy new supchip. ![]()
