AMD will be hosting its "Advancing AI 2024" event today where it will launch the next-gen EPYC, Instinct & PRO families while making other key announcements.
AMD's 5th Gen EPYC "Turin", Instinct MI325X, Ryzen PRO AI Launches Expected Today At The "Advancing AI 2024" Event
AMD's Advancing AI event is immensely important for the enterprise and data center markets, given that it directs the company's future in the segment, especially since competitors like NVIDIA & Intel are giving it their all to maintain relevancy in the industry.
It won't be wrong to say that Advancing AI will be AMD's major attempt to grasp market attention for its extensive AI portfolio, and with the arrival of new next-gen products, Team Red is ready for the next chapter of its AI and data center journey.
As such, we are expecting AMD to host a range of launches today which will encompass the EPYC, Instinct & PRO families but we can also expect some surprises as we have seen during the previous events.
In terms of what to expect with Advancing AI 2024, AMD is expected to unveil its next-gen Instinct MI325X AI accelerator, which is said to be the most superior offering under the MI300 lineup. The upcoming Instinct AI GPU will feature up to 288 GB of HBM3E VRAM and up to 6 TB/s bandwidth. This chip will come with higher FP16/FP8 compute capabilities and will be able to support double the AI model sizes per server, potentially offering qualities that will place it best in between the MI300 series and the next-gen MI400 lineup.
Moving on, AMD is also expected to announce its 5th Gen EPYC server "Turin" processors which will feature two different core configurations: the 128-core Zen 5 (4nm) and 192-core Zen 5C (3nm) designs. If you are interested in AMD's Turin server CPUs, you can visit our coverage here, where we have detailed the upcoming lineup extensively. These chips will be tackling Intel's latest Xeon 6 parts such as the Xeon 6700E "Sierra Forest", the Xeon 6900E "Granite Rapids" and the upcoming Xeon 6700P/Xeon 6900E series.
Finally, Team Red will defy the norms and might introduce the Ryzen AI PRO 300 series, which is yet again a bridge to the upcoming Strix Halo and Krackan Point lineups. We have seen several SKUs with the "Ryzen AI PRO" 300 branding in the past, and given that future APUs such as the Krackan Point series are slated to launch by CES 2025, it would be a wise move from AMD to release the pending Ryzen AI PRO 300 SKUs at Advancing AI, but this is uncertain for now.
It will be interesting to see what sort of announcements AMD makes at Advancing AI, but we still believe that Team Red is in the process of creating "surprises" for the AI markets. We will likely see the whole picture with the release of the next-gen Instinct MI400 lineup, which is expected to launch next year.
