AMD team is grinding hard 🚀🚀 Although, for most SLOs/open models, AMD is behind NVIDIA, we think that AMD's software will do well on agentic workloads in the near future, as AMD engineers are grinding hard using AgentX as the north star benchmark for realistic workloads! In theoretical modelling, AMD hardware should have way better perf per dollar than NVIDIA, especially considering the level of equitable rebates it is giving to Meta & OpenAI, but AMD's software performance is currently the blocker. Really, the main blocker is their leadership not providing the correct tools to their engineers, i.e., internal R&D GPU capacity & stable automated QA GPU clusters.

AMD's opening keynote at IFA is on personal AI on Sept 4, and GMKtec is revealing their new Gorgon Halo configs on Sept 5. I hope we see a 192GB SKU from someone soon. It would be very tempting to buy.

AMD has officially confirmed the Radeon RX 9050 4GB. It has the same 16 Compute Units and 1,024 stream processors as the 8GB model, but the memory is heavily cut down: - 4GB GDDR6 - 64-bit memory bus - 144 GB/s bandwidth - 16MB Infinity Cache - 1,920 MHz game clock - Up to 2,600 MHz boost - 92W board power The 8GB version has a 128-bit bus, 288 GB/s bandwidth and 32MB Infinity Cache.

AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D has dropped to $333.99 on Amazon, making it a fantastic gaming CPU pick for a custom-built desktop PC! Deal link 🔗 You'll need an AM5 motherboard and some (admittedly less affordable) DDR5 RAM, but this is a great price for one of the best processors that PC gamers could buy.
