The GPU card cooperated by Tencent and AMD is a semi-custom product

According to the TechnoPixel report, this GPU card of Tencent is a semi-custom product, which is different from the passive cooling structure of AMD Radeon Pro V620. It supports water-cooled heat dissipation, which can be combined with business needs, and is more flexible in deployment and more efficient in overall performance. It also has real-time fault monitoring and early warning functions to make it more reliable in operation. The most important point is that this GPU card has a high degree of customization at the driver level, optimized for rendering, encoding and decoding, and image processing. Tencent said that compared to the industry’s mainstream rendering computing cards, the performance of a single card has increased by more than 120% to meet the demand for GPU performance in multiple scenarios.

Under normal circumstances, AMD’s Radeon Pro series products have their own drivers, but this time the cooperation with Tencent is obviously deeper. Not only has the hardware been specifically designed, but it also allows Tencent to perform self-designed operations on the software. For Tencent, the work of its cloud data center requires a variety of different types of workloads. A multi-purpose and multi-functional custom GPU can improve work efficiency. It seems natural to turn to AMD for semi-custom solutions.
