Fujitsu, AMD lay groundwork to pair Monaka CPUs with Instinct GPUs

Fujitsu and AMD announced plans on Friday to develop a new, more energy-efficient AI and HPC compute platform that will pair the Japanese tech vendor's next-gen CPUs with the House of Zen's Instinct accelerators. Fujitsu's Arm-based A64FX processors powered the number-ranked Fugaku supercomputer until AMD's larger Epyc and …

AMD and Fujitsu

Radeon and RISC-V and OpenPower and any combination of Chiplet design with HyperTransport is something I want to play with on a mobile workstation or a MiniPC.

AMD is too risk averse to actually launch said product packaging. If only tech giants had a forced mandate of one innovative product for the masses every year.

Alien mask because these things don't happen because they are outerspace thinking.

Interesting

Love the idea of plunking a chiplet of ARMs (eg. 72x, 96x, ...) unto an MI300/400A, coupling them with 4+ Instinct GPU dies, in replacement for the 24 EPYC cores. Not sure though if the air-cooled Monaka is the ticket I'd expect for that ... was more hoping for some pedal-to-the-metal Neoverse V3+ Poseidon-style performance cores ...

Then again, maybe Fujitsu-AMD are aiming at some sort of ARM-based efficiency APU (air cooled overall?), differentiated from x86-EPYC performance APUs ... I guess there could be a market for this?

I wonder if the secret sauce will be that employed AI will be making loses and blame you.

Why anyone can do business with that shite company. I guess pecunia non olet.

Fujitsu's next-gen chips won't ship till 2027 - So that's whats coming up on the Horizon!

I wonder if the chips will support private prosecution.

It's a shame that FJ canned it's unique and highly progressive low power AI silicon just before the AI boom. I suspect some share prices would be significantly different if they hadn't made that awful decision.

Fujitsu developed some unique and revolutionary AI silicon a few years ago - massive maths and power advantages over the present players. The project was canned just on the cusp of the AI boom. I wonder how some share prices might differ from today if they hadn't made that dreadful decision.....
