This sounds like a very fast architecture but without CUDA, it would be a bit more difficult to develop software for it.

While I'm really looking forward to seeing what Aurora performance looks like this has been the one I've been most curious about. This seemingly bridges the gap between a fully customized solution like Fugaku and more off the shelf like Frontier/Aurora. I fully expect anything based on MI300 to dominate the Green 500 and the biggest should be vying for Top 500.

AMD's HIP is a CUDA clone.

A vital aspect of AI solutions is power efficiency. MI300 etc. , with its 13 chiplets (many 3d), unified memory,... would seem to offer many advantages.

"Supinksi often referred to the MI300 as the "MI300A," but we aren't sure if that is a custom model for El Capitan or a more formal product number."

Watch Adored TV's latest video, titled:

'AMD Takes AI-M at Nvidia with MI300X, MI300A and MI300C'

The MI300 has three variants. CPUs + GPUs (APU) , CPUs only, and GPUs only. The MI300A is the APU variant.

The original 2017 Zen core device (CCX), had 4 cores, each core with 3 fast hardware interconnects to each of the other cores.

This is the exact (Infinity Fabric) model for the 4 base dies of the MI300. All these years later, the original architecture remains the optimum to strive for.
