AMD raised its 2030 data center CPU forecast to roughly $220 billion, then stated its EPYC performance claims in "agents per rack." The footnote admits agent counts are derived from available thread resources used as a proxy.
Nvidia's Vera makes the opposite bet: 88 faster cores rather than 256 denser ones.
Neither has published the benchmark that would decide which is right.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchange @Methylzero@mast.hpc.social @niconiconi@mk.absturztau.be for #HPC workloads the low arithmetic intensity is just perfect. High memory bandwidth (1.5 TB/s) and capacity are the star of the show. Even with half the die size and compute, you would still get the same performance in lattice Boltzmann for example, so memory bound these codes are.
Similar story for some AI inference workloads, and that's what drives the market price of pretty much all GPUs nowadays.

It's official, the CMP 170HX performance has been unlocked to the Nvidia A100 level by a firmware exploit! 🚀 The community research basically started since three years ago after I publicly tested and reported this card in my blog post. I couldn't hack this card, but "a single spark can start a prairie fire." https://zenodo.org/records/20916112 PoC (mirror): https://github.com/fulracoco/cmpunlocker #hpc #gpu

@Infoseepage@mastodon.social @ChristosArgyrop@mastodon.social @thatdnaguy@genomic.social at least unlike #Shitcoin-#ASIC|s for the like of #Bitcoin these #GPU|s can at least be reused for something productive.
Worst-case it'll make #Gaming, #CAD and #HPC "affordable" again.Best case we'll see actual #innovation outside of #Deepfake|s & #Disinformation campaigns!
