Artificial intelligence: AMD challenges Nvidia with revolutionary new chips

Amd, (Advanced Micro Devices), an American multinational semiconductor manufacturer, does not disappoint expectations and at Computex 2024, the Taipei technology fair launches the challenge to Nvidia. The Californian company, based in Sunnyvale, has, in fact presented the new Ryzen processors with Zen 5 architecture, ready to revolutionize the market in July. These processors, augmented by desktop variants of the Ryzen 9000 series and laptops of the Ryzen AI 300 series, they promise exceptional performance in all areas of use.

AI: the challenge to Nvidia begins

AMD presented its latest processors for artificial intelligence, outlining an ambitious plan to develop AI chips over the next two years, aiming to compete with industry leader, Nvidia.

Lisa Su, CEO of the company, thus announced the Radeon Instinct MI325X which will arrive in the fourth quarter of 2024. “AI is clearly our number one priority as a company and we've really leveraged all the development capacity within the company to do that,” Su told reporters.

Growing demand for advanced chips for AI data centers has pushed AMD to challenge Nvidia in the lucrative AI semiconductor market, a market the company dominates for now. Jen-Hsun Huang with approximately 80% of the share.

AMD: here is the chip of the future

AMD looks ahead withintroduction of the MI350 series, scheduled for 2025, and the series MI400, arriving in 2026. These chips, based on innovative architectures, promise to further elevate performance in the field of artificial intelligence, paving the way for exciting new applications in the digital world. The company expects that the MI350 will offer improved performance in inference up to 35 times higher, revolutionizing the process of calculating generative AI responses.

“This annual cadence is something that is there because the market demands new products and capabilities… Every year we have the next big thing so that we always have the most competitive portfolio,” Su said.

Su anticipated that AMD plans to achieve chip sales for AI worth approximately $4 billion by 2024, up $500 million from the previous estimate.

AMD: the new Ryzen processors

At Computex 2024 AMD then presented i new updates to the Ryzen 5000 series, including the Ryzen 9 5900XT and the Ryzen 5800XT, both available in July with performance improvements and competitive prices. With the models he revealed the innovations ofZen architecture 5.

Furthermore, AMD officially unveiled the Video Card Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot for the business environment, and AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processors, ready for Copilot+, open up new possibilities in AI on next-generation laptops.
