A pile of money may lay hidden in supply chains across a range of global industries, says Bob Rogers, CEO and Co-Founder of Oii.ai. As a longtime security person, I really enjoyed speaking to Bob recently for the AMD EPYC TechTalk podcast series about Oii.ai's efforts to help clients uncover value in their supply chains via AI-powered automation. Bob's diverse background as a technologist, scientist and entrepreneur make him can't-miss listening. He earned a PhD in Physics from Harvard University, where he built simulations of black holes, a task not unlike what Oii.ai does today! Bob also participated in creating the world's first FDA-cleared AI on an X-ray device. You can listen to our discussion here, or read some of the highlights below.

Among the favorite subjects here on the AMD EPYC TechTalk podcast series is artificial intelligence. We especially enjoy hearing about how enterprise companies are faring on their AI journeys. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Robert Daigle, director & global AI business leader at Lenovo. Robert spoke about the state of AI in the enterprise and how his group helps companies find AI solutions for their particular business. Highlights from our talk are posted below.

I always enjoy learning from people who understand how essential collaboration is to innovation. Alan Benjamin, CEO of GigaIO, is one of those people--and he was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us on our AMD TechTalk podcast. GigaIO, a company that provides workload-defined infrastructure for AI and technical computing, made news last year by configuring 32 AMD Instinct MI210 accelerators to a single-node server called the SuperNODE. Up to then, accessing 32 GPUs required four servers equipped with eight GPUs apiece — as well as all the cost and latency associated with linking up all of that extra hardware. I've included some of the interview highlights in the blog post below.

Rebecca Weekly, vice president of infrastructure at Geico, is part of the leadership team overseeing digital transformation for the country's second-largest car insurer.  Rebecca kindly shared some of her experiences with the AMD EPYC TechTalk podcast series. The full interview can be heard here, it is a great listen. You can also find highlights from the interview below.

Look beyond the hype. AMD EPYC Processors outperform the NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip across key workloads without compromises and expensive architectural transitions.

The confluence of high performance, highly efficient hardware and market leading, run-the-business software means productivity and innovation.  Ashish Ray of Oracle recently joined the AMD TechTalk podcast to share his thoughts on technology and business.  This article provides a summary of some of his key points.

Industry benchmarks show single- and dual-socket 4^th Gen AMD EPYC™ based systems delivering between ~2.00x and ~3.70x higher performance and more than double the energy efficiency of a 2P NVIDIA Grace CPU Superchip based system.

Our industry is rife with hyperbole and hard-to-defend and hard-to-replicate claims. AMD takes a different and more transparent approach. AMD EPYC servers make your Datacenter AI-Ready by improving performance and power efficiency without compromises, and with published numbers that speak for themselves.

SAP SD plays a vital role in streamlining sales and distribution operations, enhancing efficiency, and enabling informed decision-making within organizations leveraging SAP ERP software.

There is no one set journey to AI enablement.  AI (and the infrastructure to run it) will take many forms. Many enterprises will follow different paths based on their specific goals, business and technical priorities and other considerations. But no matter where your enterprise is ultimately headed in the AI era, AMD EPYC processor-powered servers offer the platform to take you there as your needs evolve.
