I'm not sure how many people see this coming but desktop APU's in 3-4 years will be like this as well. When AMD is on TSMC's 3nm you have enough density and power savings to have a 8+ core CPU and the power of what was once a dedicated GPU all in one APU. If you have that you might as well have unified HBM memory on the APU as well.
From the article : "...but Nvidia hasn't made any announcements about such wins, despite its dominating position for GPU-accelerated compute in the HPC and data center space. "
Oh? Doesn't the Perlmutter system qualify? It has 112 V100s in it.
You think it will take that long? I was expecting it to happen this year, with the Ryzen 4000-series (but it doesn't).... desktop APU's in 3-4 years will be like this as well. ...

I believe there is one exaflop-class supercomputer in progress now - the El Capitan. The current fastest one, Summit, is powered by GV100s and gets 200 PF for double precision calculations and 3EFs for AI/TensorFlow calculations.
I looked at HSA years ago, and looking at AMD's scalable architecture, new memory types and made a very good guess where it was going. AMD was a big proponent of heterogeneous architectures working together. I read the leaves said this about 3 years back.
About two years ago I said, "You're going to see an APU with a chiplette for CPU, a chiplette forGPU, an IO Die, and HBM package that is part of unified memory dedicated to graphics calls."
You think it will take that long? I was expecting it to happen this year, with the Ryzen 4000-series (but it doesn't).
Why would that be required just to use the Infinity Fabric to run graphics? (I'm not discussing graphics performance, just the CPU/graphics connectivity in APUs.)... The GPU's in AMD's APUs are lagging about a year year behind... They need to get on RDNA2 or 3 and be on at least TSMC's 5nm ...
