Beyond the GPU: How Agentic AI Workloads are Driving a New Era of CPU Innovation in the Data Center

Image
At the  AMD Advancing AI  event last June, CEO and Chair Dr. Lisa Su described agentic AI as a new class of user: systems that are always active, continuously accessing data, applications, and services to make decisions and complete complex tasks. These systems rely on high-performance GPUs to generate insights in real time, but the surrounding infrastructure is just as important. As agentic AI activity grows, high-performance CPUs coordinate workflows, process and move data, and manage the many operations that occur around the model. While GPUs excel at the high-throughput parallel processing used in AI training and many inference tasks, modern AI deployments depend on balanced systems. CPUs, GPUs, networking, and software each play distinct roles in delivering performance at scale. Within these environments, CPUs orchestrate workloads, manage memory and data movement, and support the enterprise applications that run alongside AI models in production. That makes CPU performan...

AMD Scales the Edge: New Ryzen AI Embedded Processors Bring High-Efficiency Compute to Industrial Automation

Image
Factory automation, physical AI in mobile robotics, and other AI-driven edge applications are rapidly evolving and driving the need for computing platforms that provide real-time AI processing, deterministic performance, and long-term reliability in always-on environments.   To meet these needs, AMD is expanding its  AMD Ryzen  AI Embedded P100 Series processor portfolio . New processors feature  up to 2x higher CPU core counts, up to 8x higher graphics processing unit (GPU) compute, and an estimated 36% higher system tera operations per second (TOPS) of performance compared with the previously announced P100 Series processors in the same compact ball grid array (BGA) package 1 .   New P100 Series processors offer AMD ROCm  software support, providing developers and system designers with an expanded and scalable portfolio of power-efficient edge computing solutions. The processors support real-time AI from vision to control and reasoning, offer ad...
