As expected, AMD has once again raised its forecast for sales of its Instinct MI300 series GPUs, and as it has broken through $1 billion in revenues for its “Antares” line of compute engines in the second quarter, it is now expecting to surpass $4.5 billion in sales of these devices for all of 2024. …
It has been an invaluable asset for AMD as it re-engaged in the datacenter in the past decade to have Forrest Norrod as the general manager of its datacenter business. …
Computex, the annual conference in Taiwan to showcase the island nation’s vast technology business, has been transformed into what amounts to a half-time show for the datacenter IT year. …
A few years ago, it was hard to imagine how AMD would have survived without re-entering the datacenter with its CPU and GPU compute engines. …
How many cores is enough for server CPUs? All that we can get, and then some. …
The big oil and gas companies of the world were among the earliest and most enthusiastic users of advanced machinery to do HPC simulation and modeling. …
Timing is a funny thing. The summer of 2006 when AMD bought GPU maker ATI Technologies for $5.6 billion and took on both Intel in CPUs and Nvidia in GPUs was the same summer when researchers first started figuring out how to offload single-precision floating point math operations from CPUs to Nvidia GPUs to try to accelerate HPC simulation and modeling workloads. …
Welcome to the second part of our Debunking Datacenter Compute Myths series. …
There has always been a certain amount of fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IT vendors sow as they try to protect their positions in markets that they participate in. …
Different workloads need different mixes of price, performance, thermals, and longevity in the field out there on the edge and in the datacenter, and that is why server CPU makers for years have had a mix of processors that deliver on these vectors that are different from each other. …
