Advanced Micro Devices executives argued Thursday at the company’s investor day that the chip maker is gaining ground on its competition, starting with two major wins for top supercomputer chip deals.

Mark Papermaster, chief technology officer at Advanced Micro Devices, said that AMD beat out “heated competition” for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) El Capitan project, the world’s fastest supercomputer, described as an “exascale class” machine. AMD also won the Frontier supercomputer deal from Oak Ridge National Laboratory for delivery in 2021.

In the El Capitan deal, AMD will provide Epyc central processing units (CPUs) and Radeon Instinct graphics processing units (GPUs) for HPE’s Cray Shasta supercomputer, to be delivered in early 2023. The machine is expected to be the world’s fastest computer, promising two exaflops of double-precision performance.

AMD will provide code-named Genoa Epyc processors featuring Zen 4 processor cores and next-generation Radeon Instinct GPUs.
