AMD unveiled its comprehensive end-to-end integrated AI platform vision and introduced its open, scalable rack-scale AI infrastructure built on industry standards at its annual Advancing AI event.
The Santa Clara, California-based chip maker announced its new AMD Instinct MI350 Series accelerators, which are four times faster on AI compute and 35 times faster on inferencing than prior chips.
AMD and its partners showcased AMD Instinct-based products and the continued growth of the AMD ROCm ecosystem. It also showed its powerful, new, open rack-scale designs and roadmap that bring leadership Rack Scale AI performance beyond 2027.
“We can now say we are at the inference inflection point, and it will be the driver,” said Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, in a keynote at the Advancing AI event.
In closing, in a jab at Nvidia, she said, “The future of AI will not be built by any one company or within a closed system. It will be shaped by open collaboration across the industry with everyone bringing their best ideas.”
