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.

At this year's Red Hat Summit, we at AMD had our work cut out for us. That's because for the better part of its existence, Red Hat's OpenShift has been largely associated with Intel^® Xeon^® processors. And that's fair enough -- when OpenShift was first released in the early 2010s, Intel had little real competition in the server market. But as anyone in the tech industry knows, a lot can change in 10+ years. And a lot has!  The Summit was our opportunity to showcase just how much as evolved.

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.

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.

AMD EPYC processors along with solutions from VMware® by Broadcom, such as VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and VMware vSphere® Foundation (VVF), which include software such as vSphere®, vCenter®, vSAN® and NSX, provide a solid foundation for constructing private cloud infrastructures. The strategic collaboration between AMD and VMware By Broadcom empowers organizations to effectively deploy and manage virtualized environments that fulfill their performance and scalability needs while optimizing energy efficiency and total cost of ownership.

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.

I am delighted to announce that both general-purpose and high frequency 4^th Gen AMD EPYC processors extend their competitive performance edge to include equivalent 5^th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors in both power efficiency and across a wide range of workloads that include foundational workloads, virtualized infrastructure, decision support systems, business applications, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, and weather forecasting.

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.

This week, we introduced two additional processor models to the 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processor family at the Datacenter and AI Technology Premier. I am excited to take this opportunity to provide an update on the software ecosystem readiness and showcase some of the performance proof points for the AMD EPYC 97x4 processors.

In this blog, I will discuss the ways that AMD and VMware have worked together to make migrating from Legacy IT Infrastructures easy!
