Microsoft Announces AMD Instinct MI300X Accelerators Power Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service Workloads and first cloud provider to offer general availability of MI300X VMs. 

Today AMD celebrates its 55th anniversary. AMD has a rich history of innovation, yet the incredible AI inflection point we find ourselves in today marks a new era of opportunity and impact for our company. We made the call over a decade ago to leverage our strength and heritage in high-performance computing and invest for the future. Those bets have paid off as all our markets now demand the utmost in compute efficiency (performance per Watt of energy expended), and AI enablement.  With that in mind, as we mark this milestone, I’d like to reflect on the last five years of innovation and impact at AMD and look forward to what we can expect in the next five. 

Silicon based chips are the heart and soul of virtually every electronic device that improves human lives today. AMD is a leader in providing silicon chips for a wide variety of devices. AMD solutions are used across sensors to supercomputers, cameras to climate modeling. Electronic Design Automation (EDA) is a critical part of how AMD designs these technologies for the world. 

Here, I’d like to share how AMD IT uses our own AMD technology to help advance our design engineers’ products.  We refer to ourselves as “Customer Zero” . We experience the same challenges that our customer EDA IT environments face, and our internal IT solutions address the same problems. We partner with our peer teams across multiple aspects of the EDA workflow pipelines. Our Customer Zero efforts are a small sample of how we work together to improve your everyday experience with our products.

The chiplet design approach AMD pioneered has benefits not only for the performance and efficiency of end products, but also in the manufacturing process, reducing wasted cost, raw materials, energy, emissions and water 

Understanding and comparing PC energy efficiency can be challenging. That's why AMD has developed the AMD Processor Efficiency Calculator to help customers and end-users understand how differences in system power consumption can add up for individual users and across a PC fleet.

AMD has introduced the Ryzen™ Embedded 8000 Series processors, the first AMD embedded devices to combine NPUs based on the AMD XDNA™ architecture with traditional CPU and GPU elements, optimized for workload versatility and adaptability targeting industrial AI applications. 

High density heterogeneous datacenter/multi-cloud computing is the future of enterprises. Today, AMD EPYC CPUs are the best solution for migration of your HPC (High Performance Compute), BigData/Cloud, and AI workloads, while simultaneously providing a future-ready path for tomorrow’s workhorse applications. The AMD end-to-end datacenter stack is a strategic lever for IT leaders to modernize their businesses today.
