AMD challenged NVIDIA at Computex with its most recent AI processors, the MI325X accelerator, which is slated for availability in Q4 2024. Lisa Su, CEO, gave a presentation on the new product during the function.
AMD has made new AI chips available and revealed a two-year strategy to challenge NVIDIA’s dominant position in the industry.
With the release of the MI325X accelerator in Q4 2024, AMD officially enters the semiconductor industry.
A 35-fold improvement in inference performance over the present MI300 series is the goal of the future MI350 series.
To take on NVIDIA, the market leader, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) unveiled its most recent AI processors along with a two-year plan for developing AI chips. The MI325X accelerator, which is expected to be available in Q4 2024, was revealed by AMD CEO Lisa Su at the Computex technology trade show in Taipei.
AMD, which is well-known for making the CPUs that power PCs and servers, has progressively increased its market share in the graphics processing unit (GPU) sector, which is now led by NVIDIA. NVIDIA has an 80% market share in the AI chip business, but AMD has deliberately positioned itself to compete in this lucrative sector.
Additionally, AMD has revealed the next MI350 chip family, which will have a new chip architecture and be available in 2025. AMD anticipates that the MI350 will outperform the current MI300 series by a factor of 35 in inference workloads that require computing generative AI answers. Furthermore, AMD unveiled the MI400 series, whose “Next” architecture would be accessible in 2026.
This is an example of AMD’s continued attempts to broaden the range of data centres it offers and capitalise on the increasing demand for AI processors in cloud computing, data centres, and other applications. As AI finds its way into more enterprises, demand for high-performance AI processors is expected to rise.
