Accelerating the Release of AI Processing Units
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is accelerating the release of new AI processing units as it seeks
to weaken Nvidia Corp’s grip on this high-profit market.
In her keynote speech at the Computex conference in Taiwan, the company’s CEO, Lisa Su,
announced that the MI325X processing chip will be launched in the market during the last quarter of this year.
The company stated that the new processor, which follows the MI300 model,
features larger memory capacity and higher data transfer speeds.
The MI350 processor will be released in 2025, followed by the MI400 processor in the following year.
Increasing Sales of Processing Units
AMD aims to increase its processing unit sales by launching new
products that capitalize on the financial boom in AI training systems.
Lisa Su said the company’s current MI300 processor products are still witnessing
strong demand and that the new models will perform better than competing products.
AMD has made significant progress and raised its sales targets for AI accelerators to $4 billion this year.
Ryzen AI Processors for Consumers
AMD talked about its third-generation Ryzen AI processor, Strix Point, which will be launched in the market in July.
These processors are designed for laptops and combine RDNA3.5 graphics processing
units and XDNA2 neural network processing units to accelerate AI tasks with the latest Zen 5 core processing designs.
Challenging Nvidia with a New AI Chip
Despite AMD’s rapid sales growth, the gap with Nvidia remains large.
Nvidia’s data center unit’s annual sales are on track to surpass $100 billion,
exceeding the combined annual revenues of AMD and Intel.
Copilot AI Assistant
At the Computex conference, Microsoft’s Windows head, Pavan Davuluri, joined Lisa Su
on stage to announce the collaboration between the two companies on the PC project equipped with the Copilot AI assistant.
Davuluri stated that the AI assistant installed on the device means faster response times,
more excellent privacy protection and lower costs,
with performance twenty times stronger and efficiency one hundred times higher compared to traditional PCs.
New Processing Units for Gaming Computers
Additionally, AMD introduced new processing units for gaming computers.
Su announced that the Ryzen 9 9950X chip
is the fastest consumer CPU in the world, with 16 cores and speeds
reaching up to 5.7 GHz in boost mode.
