US chip manufacturer NVIDIA has become the number one name in the artificial intelligence world. In fact, the company has monopolized this field with the ultra-powerful GPUs it produces. The latest news reveals that AMD, which has never been able to topple NVIDIA with the GPUs it prepared for end consumers, will now try to compete with NVIDIA in this field. Because the company officially announced its new artificial intelligence-focused chips at an event it held today.
At AMD’s event today, the accelerator named “Instinct MI300X”, designed for language models (LLM) used for training artificial intelligence technologies, and the APU named “Instinct M1300A” were announced. AMD, which is very assertive about its new systems, has left NVIDIA’s H100 chips behind, as far as it is said. In fact, according to AMD, the Instinct MI300X is the “world’s highest-performance accelerator.”
AMD’s new chips enable artificial intelligence language models to be trained and run quickly
According to the statement made by AMD, Instinct MI300X performs 1.4 times better than NVIDIA H100. In other words, this chip will enable faster training of artificial intelligence-oriented technologies. AMD’s MI300A APU, which is used to combine GPUs and CPUs in artificial intelligence training, has 1.6 times the memory capacity of NVIDIA H100. The impact of this APU on AI training will be faster training and up to 30 times energy efficiency.
Artificial intelligence doping is coming to the end user too
AMD did not introduce its new products that will be used only by data centers and developers at the event it organized. The company also announced its newest processor, Ryzen 8040, which also appeals to the end user. The processor, designed specifically for artificial intelligence processing, is much better than Intel’s rival chips, according to AMD. AMD Ryzen 8040 will be 65 percent faster in video editing applications and 77 percent faster in gaming, according to the company.
AMD did not announce prices for its new products. However, the company said that computers equipped with Ryzen 8040 processors will reach users in the first quarter of next year.
