2 days ago

AMD delivered its comprehensive, end-to-end integrated AI platform vision and introduced its open, scalable rack-scale AI infrastructure built on industry standards at its 2025 Advancing AI event.
Dr. Lisa Su, chairman and CEO of AMD, emphasized the company's role in accelerating AI innovation. 'We are entering the next phase of AI, driven by open standards, shared innovation and AMD's expanding leadership across a broad ecosystem of hardware and software partners who are collaborating to define the future of AI,' Su said.
AMD announced a broad portfolio of hardware, software and solutions to power the full spectrum of AI: AMD unveiled the Instinct MI350 Series GPUs , setting a new benchmark for performance, efficiency and scalability in generative AI and high-performance computing. The MI350 Series, consisting of both Instinct MI350X and MI355X GPUs and platforms, delivers a 4x, generation-on-generation AI compute increase and a 35x generational leap in inferencing, paving the way for transformative AI solutions across industries. MI355X also delivers significant price-performance gains, generating up to 40% more tokens-per-dollar compared to competing solutions.

AMD also previewed its next generation AI rack called 'Helios .' It will be built on the next-generation AMD Instinct MI400 Series GPUs – which compared to the previous generation are expected to deliver up to 10x more performance running inference on Mixture of Experts models, the 'Zen 6'-based AMD EPYC 'Venice' CPUs and AMD Pensando 'Vulcano' NICs.

The latest version of the AMD open-source AI software stack, ROCm 7 , is engineered to meet the growing demands of generative AI and high-performance computing workloads—while dramatically improving developer experience across the board. ROCm 7 features improved support for industry-standard frameworks, expanded hardware compatibility and new development tools, drivers, APIs and libraries to accelerate AI development and deployment.

The Instinct MI350 Series exceeded AMD's five-year goal to improve the energy efficiency of AI training and high-performance computing nodes by 30x, ultimately delivering a 38x improvement. AMD also unveiled a new 2030 goal to deliver a 20x increase in rack-scale energy efficiency from a 2024 base year, enabling a typical AI model that today requires more than 275 racks to be trained in fewer than one fully utilized rack by 2030, using 95% less electricity.

AMD also announced the broad availability of the AMD Developer Cloud for the global developer and open-source communities. Purpose-built for rapid, high-performance AI development, users will have access to a fully managed cloud environment with the tools and flexibility to get started with AI projects – and grow without limits. With ROCm 7 and the AMD Developer Cloud, AMD is lowering barriers and expanding access to next-gen compute. Strategic collaborations with leaders like Hugging Face, OpenAI and Grok are proving the power of co-developed, open solutions.
Broad Partner Ecosystem Showcases AI Progress Powered by AMD
Today, seven of the 10 largest model builders and Al companies are running production workloads on Instinct accelerators. Among those companies are Meta, OpenAI, Microsoft and xAI, who joined AMD and other partners at Advancing AI, to discuss how they are working with AMD for AI solutions to train today's leading AI models, power inference at scale and accelerate AI exploration and development: Meta detailed how Instinct MI300X is broadly deployed for Llama 3 and Llama 4 inference. Meta shared excitement for MI350 and its compute power, performance-per-TCO and next-generation memory. Meta continues to collaborate closely with AMD on AI roadmaps, including plans for the Instinct MI400 Series platform.
