Leaked AMD Navi 4X GPU notes reveal up to 50% more powerful than RX 7900 XTX

A prominent hardware leaker has uncovered new patch notes revealing that the now-allegedly canceled AMD Navi 4X / 4C graphics cards would have been significantly more powerful than the current AMD flagship RX 7900 XTX.  Uncovered by Kepler_L2 (via Tweaktown), new patch notes for AMD GFX12 supposedly showcase Navi 4X die models, the newer equivalent … Read more

This startup wants to take on Nvidia with a server-on-a-chip to eliminate what it calls an already flawed system — faster GPU, CPU, LPU, TPU or NIC will not deliver the leap that many firms are aiming for

This startup wants to take on Nvidia with a server-on-a-chip to eliminate what it calls an already flawed system — faster GPU, CPU, LPU, TPU or NIC will not deliver the leap that many firms are aiming for

According to Israeli startup NeuReality, many AI possibilities aren’t fully realized due to the cost and complexity of building and scaling AI systems.  Current solutions are not optimized for inference and rely on general-purpose CPUs, which were not designed for AI. Moreover, CPU-centric architectures necessitate multiple hardware components, resulting in underutilized Deep Learning Accelerators (DLAs) … Read more

‘Wean itself off Nvidia’: Samsung signs $750 million agreement with South Korea’s largest online platform — Naver wants to replace Nvidia’s super expensive AI GPU with the more affordable Mach-1 chip

‘Wean itself off Nvidia’: Samsung signs 0 million agreement with South Korea’s largest online platform — Naver wants to replace Nvidia’s super expensive AI GPU with the more affordable Mach-1 chip

In a move to cut its dependency on Nvidia‘s high-cost AI chips, Naver, the South Korean equivalent of Google, has signed a 1 trillion won ($750 million) agreement with Samsung.  The deal will see the tech giant supply its more affordable Mach-1 chips to Naver, by the end of 2024. The Mach-1 chip, currently under … Read more

Samsung is going after Nvidia’s billions with new AI chip — Mach-1 accelerator will combine CPU, GPU and memory to tackle inference tasks but not training

‘Wean itself off Nvidia’: Samsung signs 0 million agreement with South Korea’s largest online platform — Naver wants to replace Nvidia’s super expensive AI GPU with the more affordable Mach-1 chip

Samsung is reportedly planning to launch its own AI accelerator chip, the ‘Mach-1’, in a bid to challenge Nvidia‘s dominance in the AI semiconductor market.  The new chip, which will likely target edge applications with low power consumption requirements, will go into production by the end of this year and make its debut in early … Read more

AMD RX 7900 GRE gets a free performance boost – is this now the best mid-range GPU you can buy?

AMD RX 7900 GRE gets a free performance boost – is this now the best mid-range GPU you can buy?

AMD’s RX 7900 GRE became available to buy in the US (and elsewhere) last month, but with an odd catch on the performance front – the good news being that this hiccup related to overclocking the GPU has now been cured. If you’ve been following the somewhat curious tale of the global launch of the … Read more

Startup claims to boost LLM performance using standard memory instead of GPU HBM — but experts remain unconvinced by the numbers despite promising CXL technology

Startup claims to boost LLM performance using standard memory instead of GPU HBM — but experts remain unconvinced by the numbers despite promising CXL technology

MemVerge, a provider of software designed to accelerate and optimize data-intensive applications, has partnered with Micron to boost the performance of LLMs using Compute Express Link (CXL) technology.  The company’s Memory Machine software uses CXL to reduce idle time in GPUs caused by memory loading. The technology was demonstrated at Micron’s booth at Nvidia GTC … Read more

Is the AI GPU the new mainframe? New open source tech allows users to ‘timeshare’ GPU resources for AI purposes for free — reminiscent of the days where scarce resources fosted computing elitism

Is the AI GPU the new mainframe? New open source tech allows users to ‘timeshare’ GPU resources for AI purposes for free — reminiscent of the days where scarce resources fosted computing elitism

Without an efficient way to squeeze additional computing power from existing infrastructure, organizations are often forced to purchase additional hardware or delay projects. This can lead to longer wait times for results and potentially losing out to competitors. This problem is compounded by the rise of AI workloads which require a high GPU compute load. … Read more
