Computex keynote season is kicking into excessive gear this morning with the present’s main keynote, which is being delivered by AMD. Company CEO Dr. Lisa Su will probably be presenting a keynote entitled “The future of high-performance computing in the AI era,” and with a run time of 90 minutes, we’re anticipating AMD to have a complete host of product bulletins overlaying their full spectrum of product classes.
The massive expectation right here is recent information round AMD’s Zen 5 CPU core structure, and the chips constructed round it. AMD’s most up-to-date Zen 5 roadmap has it slated to ship all three flavors of Zen 5 by the tip of this 12 months, and we’re developing on the two-year anniversary of the Zen Four structure launch.
Along with consumer chips, AMD has been pushing their server CPUs exhausting, and so they’ve beforehand instructed traders that the next-gen EPYC Turin CPU is “looking great”. So we’ll doubtless hear about each consumer and server Zen 5 product plans throughout this keynote.
On the GPU/accelerator facet of issues, AMD is mid-cycle (at greatest) with their Instinct MI300 collection accelerators. With the corporate’s gross sales repeatedly beating their very own expectations, AMD doesn’t appear to want a lot assist transferring this premium silicon proper now. But with AI being the operative buzzword of this 12 months’s Computex (and certainly, the computing business as a complete), it could be bizarre for AMD to not have one thing to say about their quickly rising AI accelerator product line.
