- AMD MI355X presents 288 GB of HBM3E memory and offers a bandwidth of 8TB/sec
- Instinct GPU sales exceeded $ 5 billion in 2024
- Despite rapid growth and innovation, AMD’s production challenges persist
AMD is ready to present the launching schedule of its MI355X instinct GPU, since it seems to take the battle to NVIDIA in the increasingly lucrative hardware market.
Although the product was originally established for a debut of the late 2025, the MI355X is now expected to reach mid -2025, reportplatform reports.
It is a movement that reveals the AMD emergency scale to challenge the mastery of the established market; The Nvidia Blackwell series has long been synonymous with top -level performance.
Overcoming the competition?
We already know that the instinct MI355X GPU is based on the new AMD ADNC 4 architecture and will come with 288 GB of HBM3E memory, as well as 8TB/sec support of bandwidth.
These improvements, together with the support for low precision computing FP6 and FP4, are designed to meet the demanding needs of AI processing.
In comparison, Blackwell B200 of NVIDIA offers 192 GB of HBM3E memory with a similar bandwidth, placing the MI355x as a serious contender in the acceleration of high performance AI.
The impulse of AMD in High Performance GPU is driven by the explosive growth of its data centers business segment.
In 2024, this segment, which includes EPYC CPU, Instinct GPU, thinking DPU and Xilinx FPGA accelerators, represented almost half of their $ 25.79 billion in income. The company’s instinct GPU sales only exceeded $ 5 billion, which reflects a strong demand for high -performance computer solutions.
However, AMD faces production challenges due to limited access to high band memory (HBM) and advanced packaging technologies such as Cowos, which have limited their ability to fully meet market demand.
Although Nvidia continues to lead the global IA accelerator market with a dominant participation greater than 90% and an assessment that places it among the most valuable companies in the world, AMD’s decision to accelerate the launch of the MI355X shows its determination to set up a challenge serious and claim some market share for itself.
In case it has been lost, AMD released the initial details about its next generation accelerator in June 2024, hinting at what was to come. Shortly after, the company published additional information about its next GPU Instinct MI355X.
