In a short note posted on its investor portal this morning, AMD announced that it will be hosting a special AI and data center-centric event on June 13th.thTitled “AMD Data Center and AI Technology Premiere,” the live event will be hosted by CEO Dr. Lisa Su and will focus on AMD’s AI and data center product portfolio. AMD’s expanded product portfolio and plans to expand these market segments.
The very brief announcement didn’t provide any details regarding the content to be expected. The MI300 is AMD’s first attempt to build a true data center/HPC class of his APU and is the best combination of AMD’s CPU and GPU technology. AMD has provided only a handful of technical details about the MI300 so far. We know it’s a segmented design that uses multiple chiplets built on TSMC’s 5nm process and uses 3D die stacking to place them onto the base die. MI300 will ship this. AMD will have to fill in the void as the product launch approaches.
As pointed out in AMD’s earnings report last week, AMD’s major investors have been waiting for additional details about the accelerator. Simply put, investors are treating his AI accelerators in data centers as the next major growth opportunity for high-performance silicon. There’s a lot of pressure on AMD as they look to the high margins these products have brought to his NVIDIA and other AI-adjacent rivals. Claim a slice of what is expected to be a highly profitable pie. The MI300 is a product that has been in development for years, so the pressure is more in response to funding than silicon itself. GPU market.
MI300 aside, it’s also where we’re likely to see more details on AMD’s upcoming EPYC ‘Genoa-X’ CPUs given the dual AI and data center focus of the event. Genoa-X, his L3 V-cache powered version of AMD’s current generation EPYC 9004 series Genoa CPUs, has been on AMD’s roadmap for some time. Also, AMD should be close to finishing his EPYC parts as the consumer equivalent parts are already shipping (Ryzen 7000X3D). AMD has previously confirmed that Genoa-X will ship with up to 96 CPU cores, with a total of Over 1GB of his L3 cache is available.
AMD’s ultra-high-density EPYC Bergamo chip is also in the pipeline, but given the high-performance aspect of its presentation, it’s a little questionable whether it’ll be on the show.Based on AMD’s compacted Zen4c architecture. Bergamo has up to 128 CPU cores on a single Bergamo chip and is targeted at cloud service providers who need to split a large number of cores among their customers. Like the Genoa X, the Bergamo is set to go on sale this year, so more details about that should come out sooner or later.
But whatever AMD shows at the event (or not), we’ll find out on June 13th.th 10:00 AM (17:00 UTC). AMD will be live-streaming the event from its own website and from his YouTube.
