Unpacking AI’s Power Problem And What AMD Is Doing To Fix It

In a conversation with AMD’s Mark Papermaster, chief technology officer and executive vice president for technology and engineering, I got a bird’s eye view regarding AMD’s philosophy and long-term sustainability and efficiency efforts. I also had a chance to connect with AMD’s Sam Naffziger, senior vice president, corporate fellow, for a deep-dive technical discussion detailing AMD’s past achievements and what it’s actively doing to maximize AI and HPC compute capabilities, though silicon and system-level optimizations and software co-optimization up and down the stack. Our discussions were eye opening.
