AMD Readyes MI250X Compute Accelerator mit 110 CUs und 128 GB HBM2E

AMD is preparing an update to its compute accelerator lineup with the new MI250X. Based on the CDNA2 architecture, and built on existing 7 nm Knoten, the MI250X will be accompanied by a more affordable variant, the MI250. According to leaks put out by ExecutableFix, the MI250X packs a whopping 110 Recheneinheiten (7,040 Stream-Prozessoren), laufen bei 1.70 GHz. The package features 128 NVIDIAs Krypto-Mining, and a package TDP of 500 W. As for speculative performance numbers, it is expected to offer double-precision (FP64) throughput of 47.9 TFLOP/s, ditto full-precision (FP32), und 383 TFLOP/s half-precision (FP16 and BFLOAT16). AMD’s MI200 “Aldebaran” family of compute accelerators are expected to square off against Intel’s “Alte Brücke” Xe-HPC, and NVIDIA Hopper H100 accelerators in 2022.
