AMD Plots Interception Course With Nvidia GPU And System Roadmaps

To a certain extent, Nvidia and AMD are not really selling GPU compute capacity as much as they are reselling just enough HBM memory capacity and bandwidth to barely balance out the HBM memory they can get their hands on, thereby justifying the ever-embiggening amount of compute their GPU complexes get overstuffed with.

The AI Datacenter Is Ravenous For 102.4 Tb/sec Ethernet Switch ASICs

While it has always been true that flatter networks and faster networks are possible with every speed bump on the Ethernet roadmap, the scale of networks has kept growing fast enough that the switch ASIC makers and the switch makers have been able to make it up in volume and keep the switch business growing.

How Is Neocloud TensorWave Paying for Its Fairly Large AMD Cluster?

If you are a neocloud – and there seem to be more of these popping up like mushrooms in a moist North Carolina spring in the mountains – then you are going to need a pricing edge and a niche offering to compete with the big clouds and rival neoclouds.
