AMD announces a new cloud gaming GPU and teases next-gen accelerators

In brief: It’s been almost a year since AMD released the RX 6800 XT, and they've got more to give. AMD have announced they’re releasing a new cloud gaming card based on it, called the Radeon Pro V620.

According to AMD VP Jeff Connell, the demand for cloud gaming warranted the creation of a GPU just for the job. But the V620 isn’t limited to gaming; it comes with partitioning capabilities that make it capable of streaming multiple desktops / workspaces from the cloud simultaneously.
The V620 differs from the 6800 XT mostly in its memory capacity, 32 GB instead of 16 GB.

If 32 GB of memory isn’t enough for you, AMD can take it up a notch. On Monday, AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su will helm the AMD Accelerated Data Center presentation, during which she will announce the next generation of AMD Compute GPUs and Epyc CPUs.

Looking forward to showcasing our upcoming @AMDServer #EPYC and @AMDInstinct accelerators. Join us for our Accelerated Data Center Premiere on November 8th at 11 a.m. ET. https://t.co/O2xZjXctfj pic.twitter.com/ezlWMNO9gK

Past leaks have indicated that AMD’s new Instinct Accelerator has 128 GB of HBM2E. It could be one of the largest GPUs ever made, hence the massive heatsinks in the teaser image above.

AMD rolls out Instinct MI200 GPUs for HPC and AI workloads

AMD on Monday unveiled the Instinct MI200 accelerator, the latest generation of its data center GPU. The chipmaker says it's the fastest HPC and AI accelerator, surpassing records set by the MI100, rolled out last year.

The Instinct MI200 delivers up to a 4.9x boost in high-performance computing than existing data center GPUs, AMD says. The company also claims it's the fastest for AI training, delivering up to 1.2x higher peak flops for mixed-precision performance.

The accelerator contains 58 billion transistors produced with 6nm technology. This allows for up to 220 compute units, which increases compute density by over 80% compared to the MI100. It's also the world's first GPU with 128GB of HBM2E memory.

It's the world's first multi-die GPU, featuring the second generation of AMD's CDNA architecture. AMD unveiled the CDNA architecture last year when it bifurcated its data center and gaming GPU designs. The CDNA architecture is designed expressly to optimize data center compute workloads.

"These workloads, of course, run on very different systems, so separating them into two products and two chip families was an easy way for us to design better products," Brad McCreadie, AMD VP for data canter GPU accelerators, told reporters last week.
