AMD will fully commit to artificial intelligence in the near future. The spearhead of this offensive is the new Instinct MI300

AI is the future. That’s why AMD relies heavily on artificial intelligence, starting with the Instinct MI300. This data center accelerator combines CPU, GPU and HBM memory on a single chip.

Everything on AI

AMD’s CEO, Dr. Lisa Su highlighted the AI ​​strategy during the first quarter earnings presentation. The American company is now making great efforts to provide the necessary hardware and software to meet the increasing demand for artificial intelligence resources.

From AMD’s perspective, there’s a much larger market and many more uses for AI than just the cloud. As a powerful exascale APU, the Instinct MI300 is already ideally suited for artificial intelligence. However, AMD stated that the chip has evolved a lot in recent months.

The company is working hard to expand the capabilities of the Instinct MI300. AMD has made great strides, especially in the area of ​​generative AI. According to Su, the chip is suitable for HPC and supercomputing as well as for AI.

She also explained that AMD is pooling a large part of its resources for (generative) AI. Among other things, the resources of Xilinx, which was acquired in 2020, are to be used for the development of AI software and a platform for artificial intelligence.

The Instinct MI300 is usually released in the fourth quarter of this year. AMD’s big plans aren’t unique, however. Competitor Nvidia has developed into an absolute AI specialist in recent years, with an ecosystem of powerful hardware supported by extensive software. With the announced Grace superchip, Nvidia also has a direct competitor for the MI300.
