AMX and all does good things sure, but it was supposed to launch vs last gens epyc, so for general consumer it has so much less to offer

found specs
dual ponte vecchio = 1.5p-ops int8, 4x that per system 6 p-ops total
h100 = most of 4p-ops int8, 8x that per system for 32 p-ops total
pretty similar total system power
the nvidia system is slightly higher but not crazy amount
gusty kiln
but 5X the performace

yea
the a100 (last gen) was 1.2p-ops x8 per system for almost 10 total

how does the MI250 stack up?

ooof

amd and intel built for science

so is all this hype for MI300 or something else?

intels happened to be designed to scale down to low precision but its still not on the same level
astral haven
so is all this hype for MI300 or something else?
nope
amd is relying on the alveo chips to handle that stuff, their 75w alveo chip also does .3p-ops int8
gusty kiln
xilinx purchase aging like fine wine

mi300a is supposed to be 5x mi250x so 1.5 p-ops
but its 900w per

astral haven
thats only int8 tho
and theres a ton more that goes into the large ai models
particularly regarding memory and networking
gusty kiln
I'm just trying to understand why nvidia and AMD are holding hands in this AI hype
at least with current product roadmap, AMD doesn't seem to be a standout

if you include aurora
with a caveat though, that is peak aurora which is still getting replacement parts since it start to be shipped with regular cpus lol

ashen spindle
that 3.3 is using the old info, its 2.3-2.5 with the actual power they will set it to
astral haven
yes, they put in cpus instead of PVC at the start because they couldnt get them ...
thats not what cuttress said tho?
max cpus are a thing
ashen spindle
ohh wait right I forgot they called hbm variants max cpus and pvc is now gpu max series
argh stupid naming
yeah did get that mixed up
anywa, that factors in aurora which isnt fully runnign yet, amd has el cpaitan coming 2h this years that another 2 exaflops projected currently
the biggest issue is that aurora has been originally a thing with xeon phi lol so it's been quite some years and only now it seems like it might finally finish
thats not a good track record in comparison
then you have rialto bridge being cancelled which was PVC successor
so next gen isnt till 2025

I don't remember that part ๐
cursive summit
I do wonder what dropping 16bit and 32bit boot would do for performance
I imagine just putting an emulation layer for 32bit software would make those softwares slower
Than just running "natively"
But what do you really gain from that sacrifice?
ashen spindle
This is emulation like emulating an android game for arm, as you said we went over it when the original idiots covered it wrongly, it doesnโt cause any really performance issues
halcyon moss
What X86S really means is removing the ability to boot 32-bit systems on bare metal. UEFI has already effectively eliminated the ability to boot 16-bit operating systems on bare metal, and barely anybody noticed.
ashen spindle
This breaks dos and custom OS bootloaders and nothing else really
ashen spindle
Yes
ashen spindle
Cpus donโt need to waste some area on it and save validation time and work
cursive summit
CPUs have 16bit and 32bit components on them?
ashen spindle
Is it that hard to read the first paragraph of articles
Yes they do still have parts for it
mild dome
Backwards compatibility is really important in industrial settings. Even if the newer stuff is faster, better and nore accurate industries tend to have processes and system designed to run on and with older standards and fix them later in the process.
One good example is Excel has a bug with its dating system. It shows dates that don't exist. This was a deliberate design choice because Microsoft was competing with another spreadsheet program with the exact same bug and they wanted to be intercompatible with it, at least up until they became the standard spreadsheet program. However now massive industries including the financing sector rely on that bug existing so Microsoft can never fix it
ashen spindle
Ok no clue what thatโs got to do with this though
mild dome
I just meant that Intel likely kept the old 16 and 32 bit systems on the chip for backwards compatibility with industries
Because industries likely have decades old machines that they occasionally strap new cpus onto, but simultaneously need those cpus to run really old code flawlessly
reef patrol
They also have new hardware built for them though.
I.e. new, old hardware*
If a factory needs an updated piece of software that currently runs only on XP or even 7, it's often a multi million dollar pricetag from a software dev. Makes it real competitive to just stay on old hardware and keep buying old and new stock.

Intel is far more successful and their stock is like 10x less worth
ashen spindle

cursive summit
What makes you think so
Also from what I remember reading back in the day
The only reason Nvidia ever got a major stock jump was automotive
Their self-driving AI thing
That made people invest big bucks into NV
And obviously, that never came
Man Intel being at $27.59 currently is just sad
How is AMD at 100$
ashen spindle
Because stock prices doesnโt mean anything since they donโt have the same amount of shares
Apple is like half that of Nvidia but worth twice as much

More shares should mean less valuation

you got a vivid fantasy at least
cursive summit
hands off approach
What's the problem then?
Who cares if Acti-blizz is acquired then
ashen spindle
because stuff like cloud gaming, game pass and such can be done without replacing management of subsidiaries
astral haven
yay for making monopolies as large as possible
ashen spindle
also you cant call it a good thing then try to argue its still a good thing because the bad thing might not happen
unless you are an actual shareholder the first though should be whats the benefit/problem for you as consumer
cursive summit
I don't consume any Acti-blizz games nor I am a shareholder
I just advocate for better treatment of employees
And better game developement practices

the benefit is theres a chance of the company culture changing to be less toxic and potentially making it more palatable to spend money there

The issue is the US's infrastructure is built around gas cars
astral haven

The way the US is spread out makes owning a car almost a requirement

yep and shockingly it would work great for electric cars if there were as many places to refuel them
final flame
once saw a video of someone with a generator in the back of their Tesla in order to charge it on the side of the road
astral haven
because people in fact do need breaks to stretch their legs, and electric cars dont require you to monitor your charging so you can leave it alone while you grab snacks or go to the restroom
final flame
final flame
Lol nice
astral haven
its actually a problem tho since it doesnt provide enough power to climb grades
and the us model only allows the generator to recharge the car when its stopped below 7% battery
so if you run out of battery on an incline, you have to pull off every basically 10 miles to let the generator recharge

well higher frequency at the same ns is lower latency in general
