Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ) on Thursday introduced new high-performance computing systems, including EPYC CPUs, Instinct accelerators, Pensando DPUs and Ryzen AI PRO 300 processors that will cater to the growing artificial intelligence demand and workflows.
"AMD Instinct MI325X accelerators are designed for exceptional performance and efficiency for demanding AI tasks spanning foundation model training, fine-tuning and inferencing," the company said.
Production shipments of the accelerators are on track for Q4 and "are expected to have widespread system availability from a broad set of platform providers," including Dell Technologies ( DELL ) , Hewlett Packard Enterprise ( HPE ) , Lenovo, Supermicro (SMCI), Eviden, Gigabyte, among others starting in Q1 2025, the company said.
Google ( GOOG ) said it plans to launch EPYC 9005 series-based virtual machines in early 2025, while Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (ORCL) said it uses AMD's CPUs, accelerators and DPUs to power its energy-efficient infrastructure for customers like Uber ( UBER ) and PayPal.
Microsoft ( MSFT ) said it is collaborating with AMD for its Azure infrastructure, using MI300X for GPT workloads, and plans to adopt future MI350 accelerators.
Meta (META) revealed that it relies on AMD EPYC CPUs and Instinct accelerators for its AI deployments, with MI300X handling all live traffic on Llama 405B.
AMD said its Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series processors target Microsoft Windows and its Copilot+ laptops to support offline AI computations.
