AMD’s Big Reveal: New AI Processors Set to Outperform Nvidia by 2026

Daniel Kim Views  

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) unveiled its latest AI processor at the COMPUTEX 2024 in Taiwan and announced plans to develop AI chips over the next two years to challenge NVIDIA.

AMD CEO Lisa Su introduced the MI325X accelerator on June 3rd (local time), which is scheduled to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2024.

On the same day, AMD also introduced the MI350 series, designed based on a new chip architecture, which is expected to be launched in 2025.

AMD stated that compared to the currently available MI300 series AI chips, the MI350 is expected to perform 35 times better in inference (calculating generative AI responses).

Furthermore, AMD unveiled the MI400 series, which will be launched in 2026, and stated that it will be based on an architecture called Next.

AMD has been striving to compete with NVIDIA, which holds about 80% of the profitable AI semiconductor market.

The race to develop generative AI programs has led to increased demand for high-end chips used in AI data centers that can support such complex applications.

NVIDIA clarified to investors last year that it plans to shorten its release cycle to annually, and AMD followed suit.

Lisa Su told reporters, “AI is our top priority, and we’ve concentrated all our development capabilities within the company to achieve it.”

She added, “This annual cycle exists because the market demands new products and features. Every year, we have the most competitive portfolio.”

Meanwhile, AMD detailed the architecture of its new Neural Processing Units (NPUs), which handle AI tasks within AI PCs. It indicated that its latest generation of Central Processing Units will likely be launched in the second half of 2024.

Chip manufacturers are enhancing AI capabilities to drive growth in the PC market, which has emerged from years of stagnation.

In response, PC providers, including HP and Lenovo, are planning to launch devices equipped with AMD’s AI PC chips. AMD announced that its processors exceed Microsoft’s Co-Pilot Plus PC requirements.

AMD’s stock rose by 1.4%, and Lisa Su predicted in April that AI chip sales in 2024 would exceed previous estimates by $500 million, to approximately $4 billion.
