Different workloads need different mixes of price, performance, thermals, and longevity in the field out there on the edge and in the datacenter, and that is why server CPU makers for years have had a mix of processors that deliver on these vectors that are different from each other. …
Not everybody can afford an Nvidia DGX AI server loaded up with the latest “Hopper” H100 GPU accelerators or even one of its many clones available from the OEMs and ODMs of the world. …
With a server recession underway and its latest Epyc CPUs and Instinct GPU accelerators still ramping, this was a predictably soft, but still not terrible in the scheme of things, quarter for AMD. …
The expanded lineup of AMD’s 4th generation “Genoa” Epyc server chips – built atop “Zen 4” core and some with the chip maker’s L3-boosting 3D V-Cache – unveiled at a high-profile event in San Francisco this week is quickly making its way into the cloud. …
The best defense is a good offense, and as it turns out, the best offense is also a good offense. …
The great thing about the Cambrian explosion in compute that has been forced by the end of Dennard scaling of clock frequencies and Moore’s Law lowering in the cost of transistors is not only that we are getting an increasing diversity of highly tuned compute engines and broadening SKU stacks across those engines, but also that we are getting many different interpretations of the CPU, GPU, DPU, and FPGA themes. …
Any performance comparisons across compute engines in use in a datacenter are always valid for a point in time since new CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other ASICs are always coming into the market at different times. …
UPDATED Like many HPC and AI system builders, we are impatient to see what the “Antares” Instinct MI300A hybrid CPU-GPU system on chip from AMD might look like in terms of performance and price. …
When it comes to an economy, you get what we collectively expect. …
Video has taken over the Internet, with almost 80 percent or so of the traffic being video. …
