AMD will hold AMD Accelerated Data Center Premiere on November 8
AMD announced that it will hold a new product launch event for accelerated data centers on November 8, 2021, at 11 am Eastern Time, to showcase the upcoming EPYC series of processors and an Instinct series of computing cards. AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su, senior vice president and general manager of the data center and embedded solutions business unit Forrest Norrod, and senior vice president and general manager of the server business unit Dan McNamara will deliver speeches at this virtual event.
According to Twitter user @ExecuFix, AMD may display EPYC series processors code-named “Milan-X” at this event, that is, products that use 3D vertical cache (3D V-Cache) technology. The flagship new EPYC 7773X processor was previously exposed, with 64 cores and 128 threads. In addition to its own 256MB, the L3 cache also has a stacked 512MB. The total capacity reaches 768MB, the TDP is 280W, and the price is as high as $10746.99.
In addition, there may also be an EPYC processor code-named “Trento”, which is said to be a modified version of the EPYC processor code-named “Milan”, optimized for HPC, and will be applied to Frontier supercomputers. As for the Instinct series of computing cards, there should be no suspense. It will be equipped with a GPU with a CDNA 2 architecture code-named Aldebaran. This is AMD’s first product based on a multi-chip module design (MCM package), arriving earlier than the Intel Xe HPC architecture’s Ponte Vecchio and NVIDIA’s Hopper architecture GH100.
AMD’s event will be held the day before NVIDIA’s GTC 2021 and will be broadcast live on its official website. After the end, you can also watch the replay.
