(Boursier.com) — AMD counterattack on an AI “superchip” segment dominated by Nvidia. Yesterday, AMD unveiled as expected its most advanced chip to date, targeting generative AI technology. The MI300x chip can use up to 192 GB of memory. These powerful memory capacities mean that AMD’s new chip could be applied to large AI language models, the so-called ‘LLM’. These graphics processing units therefore have the capacity to power new AI platforms such as ChatGPT. The Californian group from Santa Clara, led by Lisa Su, therefore intends to get its share of the gigantic cake of AI chips. Su spoke yesterday about “incredibly powerful” technology, confident in his group’s abilities against Nvidia. Note also that according to Reuters, AWS (Amazon) would consider the use of new ultra-powerful chips from AMD.
