AMD high -performance calculation: Create a digital economy high -speed engine

The tide of the digital economy is sweeping the world. The computing power is similar to the power of the industrial era, and it is becoming a new momentum that supports the depth of the digital economy. The huge demand for computing power has promoted the rapid development of the semiconductor industry.

"While the semiconductor industry continues to grow in the next five years, deep changes will occur in the calculation field." At the "IC NANSHA" International Integrated Circuit Industry Forum held in Nansha District, Guangzhou on June 25, the senior vice president of AMD is senior vice president of AMD Pan Xiaoming, President of Greater China, said, "This change will affect the main fields such as data centers and clouds, artificial intelligence, PC and games. Among them, in the field of data centers and clouds, the demand for performance will continue to grow. At the same time Sex, energy efficiency, and sustainable development will become increasingly important and indispensable. "

Three major innovation drivers break the computing boundary

Pan Xiaoming introduced that with the evolution of the semiconductor industry, the dependence of performance improvement on the process is decreasing. In the past, the general cognition was a factors that increased performance by 60%depending on the progress of process technology. Now, the evolution of process technology accounts for about 40%of the performance, and the optimization of platforms and design accounts for 60%. This optimization It covers the micro -structure, module connection, and hardware and software system optimization of the processor.

Facing challenges and opportunities, AMD continues to invest in the basic technologies required by high -performance computing platforms. Investment in the INFINITY architecture for ten years has provided AMD with a modular ability. The forward -looking and leading Chiclet small chip technology of AMD architecture, as well as 2.5 and 3D packaging technology, enable AMD to flexibly optimize the system -level system -level heterogeneous computing solution system.

It is reported that in June this year, AMD revealed on its financial analyst on the day that AMD's "Zen 4" CPU core is expected to provide motivation to the world's first high -performance 5nm X86 CPU later this year. Compared with "Zen 3", "Zen 3" is expected to increase IPC by 8%-10%when running desktop applications, increases by more than 25%per tile, and increases overall performance by 35%. The "Zen 5" CPU core, which is planned in 2024, will be newly designed to provide leading performance and efficiency in terms of extensive workloads and functions, including optimization of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

In addition, customization has now become the best choice for more and more users. AMD has a lot of experience in the customization field. As early as 10 years ago, AMD took the lead in using customized chips in the game console market. At present, AMD is opening its high -performance IP product portfolio and constructing a custom Chiclet platform in order to integrate third -party and customer IP to achieve high -performance customized solutions.

Data Center: Create the source of computing power

In February of this year, the "East Digital West Calculation" project was officially launched. It guided the dense computing power demand in the eastern part to the west, making the data elements flow cross -domain, and weaving was a national computing power network. While alleviating the problem of energy tensions in the eastern part, a new path is opened for the development of the west.

The significant growth of the demand for computing power will bring about the rapid growth of the energy consumption of data centers. One of the keys to the development of efficient energy data centers is the "source of computing power" -that is, the core "core of each processor in the data center "The performance of the processor also determines the upper limit of the computing power. Under the dual -carbon target, how to find a balanced fulcrum between energy consumption growth and low -carbon targets, "high performance calculation" may give the answer.

The data center is one of the pillar fields that AMD's key investment. AMD has developed rapidly in the data center market and has created a number of industries its first creation. The EPYC (Xiaolong) processor used for technical computing workloads is flourishing with major OEM, ODM, SI, ISV, and cloud solutions.

In March of this year, the world's first data center CPU with 3D chip stacking — "Milan-X" third-generation AMD EPYC (Xiaolong) processor was released, which not only marked that AMD successfully brought the 3D V-Cache cache stack technology with AMD. To the data center, it is also another masterpiece of AMD computing and innovation. Compared with non-stacked third-generation AMD EPYC processors, "Milan-X" can provide a performance improvement of up to 66%for various target technology computing workloads.

AMD also completed the acquisition of Pensando in May this year. As a leading supplier provided DPU technology for data centers, enterprises and marginal markets, Pensando truly solves the needs of data centers for network, security and storage acceleration needs, and is a perfect supplement to the combination of AMD and Cylinz.

AMD is also continuously expanding the product portfolio of data center solutions, including the next -generation high -performance CPU, accelerator, data processing unit (DPUS), and expanded product portfolio for the next -generation high -performance CPU, accelerator, data processing unit (DPUS). The fourth -generation AMD EPYC (Xiaolong) processor based on "Genoa" based on "Zen 4" will become a more powerful universal server processor. This processor will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to compared At the third -generation EPYC processor on the top of the stack, the products on the top of the stack can provide more than 75%of stronger enterprise -level Java performance. 30X25 Energy Efficiency Objectives, achieve a green future

In September 2020, China promised at the United Nations Conference that it would reach the peak of carbon emissions in 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality in 2060.

AMD has been committed to strengthening cooperation with the Chinese market with the latest technologies and products of high performance computing, and provides strong help for China to better achieve the "dual carbon" goals and digital economy green and high -quality development.

In 2021, AMD announced the "30x25" goal -by 2025, the processor and accelerator energy efficiency of the server will be 30 times more efficient to adapt to the rapidly growing artificial intelligence (AI) training and high -performance computing market. The 30 -fold energy efficiency target can save billions of kWh of electricity in 2025, and will reduce the power required to complete a single calculation by 97%in the next 5 years.

At present, AMD is progressing smoothly towards the goal of "30x25" and has achieved new breakthroughs. Through the use of a third -generation AMD EPYC CPU and four AMD Instinct Mi250X GPU acceleration nodes, it achieves 6.79 times energy efficiency above 2020. In the context of the "East Digital West Calculation" and "double carbon" goals, AMD's high -performance products are providing support for the green digital transformation of major enterprises, major industries, and the entire society, and creating a greener calculation base.

After more than half a century of unremitting efforts, AMD has grown into a leader brand. AMD has just launched a new brand platform "Together, Common Achievement_" ("Together We Advance_"). In this regard, Pan Xiaoming said, "This is our most authentic expression of the industry and cooperation, conveying AMD's corporate culture, and expressing our determination to cooperate with the industry."
