Part 4/9:
While small and medium workloads are increasingly manageable, the next frontier for AMD lies in scale-out AI—especially the ability to run large models across multiple GPUs efficiently. Given that generative AI models such as GPT-4, Claude, and Llama are exceedingly computationally intensive, effective large-scale deployment remains a critical challenge.
Encouragingly, AMD has made notable strides in inference performance. Data from MLPerf benchmarks indicate that their inference servers utilizing MI300 and MI325 series hold parity with NVIDIA's H100 and H200, showcasing AMD's growing competence in large language model (LLM) inference. This positions AMD as a serious competitor in the inference sphere, which is expected to expand substantially in the coming years.
