Su also added her voice to a chorus of US tech executives, including her counterpart at Nvidia, arguing that the AI surge will continue because of the benefits it’s bringing and the heavy computing requirements of that new technology.
(Jan 6): Advanced Micro Devices Inc, aiming to make a dent in Nvidia Corp’s stranglehold on the AI hardware market, announced a new chip for corporate data centre use and talked up the attributes of a future generation of products for that market.
The company is adding a new model to its current lineup — one called the MI440X — for use in smaller corporate data centres where customers can deploy local hardware and keep data inside their own facilities. The announcement came as part of a keynote at the CES trade show, where CEO Lisa Su also touted AMD’s top-of-the-line MI455X, saying systems based on that chip are a leap forward in the capabilities on offer.
