AMD Announces the Radeon Instinct MI25 Deep Learning Accelerator
AMD's EPYC Launch presentation focused mainly on its line of datacenter processors, but fans of AMD's new Vega GPU lineup may be interested in another high-end product that was announced during the presentation. The Radeon Instinct MI25 is a Deep Learning accelerator, and as such is hardly intended for consumers, but it is Vega based and potentially very potent in the company's portfolio all the same. Claiming a massive 24.6 TFLOPS of Half Precision Floating Point performance (12.3 Single Precision) from its 64 "next-gen" compute units, this machine is very suited to Deep Learning and Machine AI oriented applications. It comes with no less than 16 GBs of HBM2 memory, and has 484 GB/s of memory bandwidth to play with.
AMD also presented a 2U server rack with EPYC processors and Radeon Instinct MI25 GPUs on-board that they have co-developed with Inventec. It is capable of a staggering 100 TFLOPS of performance.
It is certainly encouraging to see AMD launching competitive products in this market segment.

Deep Learning, does that mean it will mine faster once it learns how?:peace:
Why is one backplated and the other not?
Fitting problems for the platform?
P.S. Wait, not even the same PCB?
I'll wait for Zen 2 then, since I will have to wait until Jan/Feb 2018 anyways as this is the projected delivery date of the A4-SFX v2. Will be interesting to see what progress AMD and GloFo will be able to achieve with its Zeppelin die revision.
:lovetpu:
Because the PCI-E GV100 was also announced ay ISC, 28 TFlops of half precision and 14 single. All at 250watts... Oh, and 900GB/s Memory bandwidth? Is that an Nvidia sales lie?

LInk to my own post. Such a douche... :oops:
Edit: And 300 watts? Ouch!
With those Tflops gpu is ticking on 1.5 GHz, while frontier edition is up-to 1.6 GHz.
If you look closely. Not all GPUs are connected. I suspect (I could be wrong) these are showcase GPUs and they usually are swapped around depending on how they want to display them at shows.
