AMD Cloud-Native EPYC Bergamo, HPC Optimized Genoa-X CPUs And MI300 AI Accelerators Take Flight

Today, at its Data Center and AI Technology event in San Francisco, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) announced the availability of its 4th Gen EPYC data center processor expansion based on the company’s Bergamo and Genoa-X CPU architectures for cloud-native, general-purpose compute and HPC (High Performance Computing) workloads, respectively. The company also announced it will sample its new Instinct MI300X AI accelerator later this year, along with its Infinity Architecture platform that incorporates up to eight MI300X accelerators together for complex AI inferencing and training workloads. In addition, the MI300A accelerator, which incorporates CPU and GPU cores, is already sampling to partners. However, what might be most compelling about the announcements AMD made today, is that the company has laid the foundation for a comprehensive platform strategy for accelerated computing solutions that are specifically optimized for the major growth markets of cloud computing, HPC and AI.
