Supermicro is one the world's premier producers of servers and storage systems, as well as a top provider of fast and efficient AI infrastructure. Linda Yang, a Supermicro senior solution manager, recently joined me on the AMD TechTalk podcast to discuss how the rapid evolution of AI models and workloads is driving change in AI infrastructure. I'm pleased to share highlights from the conversation in this blog post. You can listen to the full podcast here.

BeeKeeperAI operates a privacy-preserving, confidential computing platform that protects data and enables secure collaborations. At a time when security threats seem ubiquitous, BeeKeeperAI, with the help of security technologies built into AMD EPYC processors, help safeguard data. I had a great time speaking with Alan Czeszynski, BeeKeeperAI's marketing and product development leader. The full podcast can be accessed here.     

I recently had the pleasure of speaking about the future of AI, large language models (LLM) and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) with my colleague, Meena Arunachalam,  AMD AI Systems Engineering Director and Fellow. We were able to pack a lot into our discussion, so I have highlighted just a handful of Meena’s invaluable insights and recommendations in this blog post.  For more detail, you can listen to the podcast here . 

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.

As much as I love advocating for AMD EPYC technologies, I have a special fondness for sharing what our partners and customers have to say about working with AMD and the EPYC processor portfolio.  It is one of my priorities when selecting topics and guests for the AMD TechTalk podcast.  Paul Sun, of IronYun, recently joined the podcast and spoke with me about the growing opportunities in visual analytics — thanks to advancements in AI-vision applications, Edge computing and new hardware. I've included highlights from our chat in this brief blog. 

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.

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.

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.

The tech industry is in a perpetual struggle to achieve equilibrium between compute, storage and networking for maximum performance. For now, storage—or, more precisely, the location of large data sets—is the problem, and chiplets, pioneered by AMD, is one solution.

Today, I am excited to talk about the newest member of the 4th Gen AMD EPYC product family: AMD EPYC 8004 Series Processors (formerly codenamed “Siena”). These latest additions to the 4th Gen AMD EPYC lineup propel datacenter and AI technology toward new horizons because they are purpose-built to deliver strong performance with high energy efficiency and built-in security capabilities in a 1P package optimized for diverse workloads including, telco, edge, remote office, and datacenter deployments.
