AMD Launches New AI Solutions From Data Centers to Personal Computers

Chip manufacturer AMD has launched a range of products for everything from data centers to personal computers.

The Santa Clara-based semiconductor company introduced several new products, including the AMD Instinct Mi300 Series Data Center AI Accelerator, the ROCM 6 Open Software Stack with new features supporting large language models, and the Ryzen 8040 Series processor with Ryzen AI.

AI is the future of computing, and AMD is uniquely positioned to power the end-to-end infrastructure that will define this AI era from large-scale cloud installations to enterprise clusters and AI-enabled intelligent embedded devices and PCs, said AMD CEO Lisa Su.

The company is seeing very strong demand for the new Instinct Mi300 GPUs, which are the highest performance accelerators in the world for generative AI.

We're building significant momentum for our data center AI solutions with the largest cloud companies, the industry's top server providers, and the most innovative AI startups, with whom we're working together to bring the Instinct Mi 300 solution to market quickly, which will accelerate dramatically to accelerate the growth of the Mi 300 solution to the rapid growth of the world."

Regarding the growth in the AI sector, he said the market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 70 percent. And the current market size of USD 45 billion is expected to increase to USD 400 billion by 2027.

AMD President Victor Peng said the AMD Instinct Mi300 Series Accelerators are designed with the most advanced technologies, deliver leadership performance, and will be in large-scale cloud and enterprise deployments.

"By leveraging our leadership hardware, software and open ecosystem approach, cloud providers, OEMs and ODMs are bringing technologies to the market that empower enterprises to adopt and deploy AI-powered solutions.

Customers taking advantage of the latest AMD Instinct Accelerator portfolio include Microsoft, which has announced the new Azure ND Mi300X V5 virtual machine series, optimized for AI workloads, and powered by the AMD Instinct Mi300X Accelerator.

The AMD Instinct Platform is a generative AI platform, built on the industry standard open compute project design with eight Mi300X accelerators, providing industry-leading 1.5TB HBM3 memory capacity.

The company announced the new mobile processors with the launch of the latest AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors, which offer strong AI compute capability.

It also launched Ryzen AI 1.0, a software stack that enables developers to easily deploy apps that use pre-trained models to add AI capabilities to Windows applications.

AMD announced that the upcoming next-generation 'Strix Point' CPU, planned for launch in 2024, and will include AMD XDNA2 architecture designed to provide more than three-fold increases in AI compute performance compared to the previous generation, enabling new 'Strix Point' CPUs to be launched in 2024.

The company also unveiled the latest version of the open-source software stack for AMD Instinct graphic processing units, ROCM6, which is optimized for Generator AI specifically large language models.
