On Thursday, AMD introduced its new MI325X AI accelerator chip, which is about to roll out to information middle prospects within the fourth quarter of this 12 months. At an occasion hosted in San Francisco, the corporate claimed the brand new chip gives “industry-leading” efficiency in comparison with Nvidia’s present H200 GPUs, that are extensively utilized in information facilities to energy AI functions similar to ChatGPT.
With its new chip, AMD hopes to slender the efficiency hole with Nvidia within the AI processor market. The Santa Clara-based firm additionally revealed plans for its next-generation MI350 chip, which is positioned as a head-to-head competitor of Nvidia’s new Blackwell system, with an anticipated transport date within the second half of 2025.
In an interview with the Monetary Instances, AMD CEO Lisa Su expressed her ambition for AMD to grow to be the “end-to-end” AI chief over the subsequent decade. “That is the start, not the top of the AI race,” she instructed the publication.
Based on AMD’s web site, the introduced MI325X accelerator comprises 153 billion transistors and is constructed on the CDNA3 GPU structure utilizing TSMC’s 5 nm and 6 nm FinFET lithography processes. The chip contains 19,456 stream processors and 1,216 matrix cores unfold throughout 304 compute items. With a peak engine clock of 2100 MHz, the MI325X delivers as much as 2.61 PFLOPs of peak eight-bit precision (FP8) efficiency. For half-precision (FP16) operations, it reaches 1.3 PFLOPs.
