From the con call, Lisa even talked about Ryzen AI. Curious if there is some new branding coming along. Anyway, the MI300 series is the first real competitor (IMHO) to Hopper. It is going to take allot of time and effort for AMD to grab significant market share from the incumbent. I hope they execute well.It's only AI everything if you can compete with nVidia which no one but AMD really can.

It's a big stick, yea.Anyway, the MI300 series is the first real competitor (IMHO) to Hopper.
They'll very much continue dropping the hammer with MI400.It is going to take allot of time and effort for AMD to grab significant market share from the incumbent
Lisa pretty openly said it's their fastest-to-$1B rev product ever.it may gain traction faster than in Datacenter CPU.
A professor of Warren Buffet had said that (stock) markets are able to sustain a level of irrationality for unexpectedly long periods of time. Apparently the same is true CPU purchases.There was a lot of legacy in that market. There are companies still buying Ice Lake CPUs, which is not even in a ballpark of being competitive, but there are a lot of legacy deployments, and people are now just throwing bad money after - bad money.
It might be but MI300 is lagging wayy behind nvidia now they've just moved to yearly cadence unfortunatelyIt's a big stick, yea.

No.It might be but MI300 is lagging wayy behind nvidia
They moved to that cadence because comp between them and AMD in big schlong GPGPU sticks gonna be insane.now they've just moved to yearly cadence unfortunately
It is still a 2 year cadence for a fully new product, they are just doing really aggressive posturing to try to seem indomitable.It might be but MI300 is lagging wayy behind nvidia now they've just moved to yearly cadence unfortunately
We're so lucky to have OSATs.The trouble I am seeing with MI300 is, that they will be competing with NV for the same precious CoWoS capacity
AMD's communicated pretty clear revenue targets.So supply might be rather sparse as NV seems to have allocated the lion share
They should unironically contract IFS for dual sourcing MI300 packaging. I don’t think there’s much of an IP risk through packaging alone so it should be a serious consideration.The trouble I am seeing with MI300 is, that they will be competing with NV for the same precious CoWoS capacity. Early on they wanted to use InFO-RDL like in N31, but that did not seem to work. So supply might be rather sparse as NV seems to have allocated the lion share. Costs are higher as well, but that should not be a big deal in that segment.
EMIB pitch insufficient and I don't think Intel can reticle stitch passive slabs.They should unironically contract IFS for dual sourcing MI300 packaging
If they’re able to handle the packaging on Ponte Vecchio, Gaudi & H100 I don’t see how MI300 would be an issue.EMIB pitch insufficient and I don't think Intel can reticle stitch passive slabs.
It's all very not tight pitches (like, 45um EMIB is not sufficient to run USRs).they’re able to handle the packaging on Ponte Vecchio
It's TSMC lol.Gaudi
Is not packaged at Intel.H100
AMD works with actual, real OSATs and not the joke that is Intel.I think they’d be foolish to not try to inquire about it at least.
The dies are fabricated at TSMC but packaging is done at Intel afaik.It's TSMC lol.
H100 packaging is being dual sourced now.Is not packaged at Intel.
This attitude could be the difference between 2.0B in revenue vs 2.5B in revenue from MI300.AMD works with actual, real OSATs and not the joke that is Intel.
No, lol, it's CoWoS-S.The dies are fabricated at TSMC but packaging is done at Intel afaik
Yea, not at Intel.H100 packaging is being dual sourced now.
They'll get a lot more than $2.5B from it lmao.This attitude could be the difference between 2.0B in revenue vs 2.5B in revenue from MI300.
They'll get a lot more than $2.5B from it lmao.
Jfc there are OSATs that also provide chungus 2.5D slabs.That’s not possible with CoWoS constraints
If they want to be packaging constrained for all of 2024 and not explore potential alternatives for dual sourcing such as Intel or Samsung then that’s their right I suppose.Jfc there are OSATs that also provide chungus 2.5D slabs.
Come on.
ASE exists and AMD loves them to death.
Intel has no usable packaging options for MI300 and Samsung big chongus carriers barely got qualified.If they want to be packaging constrained for all of 2024 and not explore potential alternatives for dual sourcing such as Intel or Samsung then that’s their right I suppose
Intel would be screaming from the roofs if they had it.I had assumed it was Nvidia but it could be an incorrect assumption.
issuing public press releases would be breaching contract I would guess. I saw it mentioned on SemiWiki so I had assumed it was the case but I guess we’ll find out in a few quarters.Intel would be screaming from the roofs if they had it.
That looks like a pretty big increase in size compared to 178mm2 of Phoenix.225 IIRC
That’s not possible with CoWoS constraints. I was quoting AMD’s MI300 projections (2B in 2024) from their earnings call but okie dokie.
Lisa Su said:So certainly, for the current forecast of greater than $2 billion, we have adequate supply. But we have also planned for a supply chain forecast that could be significantly higher than that, and we would continue to work with customers to build that out.
This. Lmao there is no way Intel grabbed a packaging contract of that scale and just went silent about it.Intel has no usable packaging options for MI300 and Samsung big chongus carriers barely got qualified.
Intel would be screaming from the roofs if they had it.
Also this. Packaging is more diverse than fabs.Jfc there are OSATs that also provide chungus 2.5D slabs.
Come on.

AMD pre-prod parts have no names, just an OPN.It is possible that former "8950X" "8950HS" leaks could be fake
