AMD will be fully committed to artificial intelligence in the near future. The spearhead of that offensive is the new Instinct MI300
AI is the future. That’s why AMD is betting heavily on artificial intelligence, starting with the Instinct MI300. This data center accelerator combines CPU, GPU and HBM memory on a single chip.
All-in op AI
AMD’s CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, highlighted the AI strategy during the Q1 earnings presentation. The American company is now making a lot of effort to provide the necessary hardware and software so that it can meet the increasing demand for artificial intelligence resources.
As far as AMD is concerned, there is a much larger market and a lot more applications for AI than just the cloud. As a powerful exascale APU, the Instinct MI300 is already ideally suited for artificial intelligence. But AMD stated that the chip has evolved a lot in recent months.

The company is working hard to expand the capabilities of the Instinct MI300. AMD made a lot of progress especially around generative AI. According to Su, the chip is suitable for HPC and supercomputing as well as for AI.
She also stated that AMD is pooling a large portion of its resources towards (generative) AI. Among other things, the resources of Xilinx, which was acquired in 2020, will be used for the development of AI software and a platform for artificial intelligence.
The Instinct MI300 is normally released this year, in Q4. However, AMD’s big plans are not unique. Competitor Nvidia has emerged as an absolute AI specialist in recent years, with an ecosystem of powerful hardware supported by extensive software. With the announced Grace superchip, Nvidia also has a direct competitor for the MI300.
