The MI300X accelerator is based on AMD’s CDNA 3 technology and uses as much as 192GB of memory to handle workloads for large language models and generative AI, the Santa Clara, California-based company said.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. showcased its upcoming line of artificial intelligence processors, aiming to help data centres handle a crush of AI traffic and challenge Nvidia Corp.’s dominance in the burgeoning market.
Popular services that rely on large language models — algorithms that crunch massive amounts of data in order to answer queries and generate images — are pushing data centers to the limit.“We are still very, very early in the life cycle of AI,” AMD chief executive officer Lisa Su said at the event. Still, the presentation failed to dazzle investors, who already have sky-high expectations for AI growth.
Executives from Amazon.com Inc.’s AWS and Meta Platforms Inc. joined Su on stage to talk about using new AMD processors in their data centres.
