AMD makes first 7 nanometer CPU and GPU and performance competitive with Nvidia | NextBigFuture.com

Advanced Micro Devices launched its first 7-nm CPU and GPU at the lucrative target of the data center. The working chips deliver comparable performance to Intel’s 14-nm Xeon and Nvidia’s 12-nm Volta. AMD is back from the near dead. AMD is competitive with Nvidia and Intel will get a significant market share. A single 7-nm Epyc x86 processor narrowly beats a system with two Intel Skylake Xeons in a rendering job. AMD benchmarks have the 7-nm Vega GPU on par with a Nvidia V100 in inference tasks. The existing 14-nm Epyc, launched in May 2017, boosted AMD’s negligible 0.5% share The post AMD makes first 7 nanometer CPU and GPU and performance competitive with Nvidia appeared first on NextBigFuture.com.
