I don't even know what that MI300 will be used for, but as a tech aficionado I only have one reaction seeing it: DAAAAAAAAAMN

computer modeling climate disasters, weather patterns, who knows, lots of stuff that needs a macro concept.

I wrote a topic on supercomputers being used to try and figure out right combinations to create a new type of paved road/cement, and it turns out there is a supercomputer that actually did look at that too.

you will have to find the thread I made it on here on TPU, I forget a lot of the details.

I know its not the target market (it'd be HPC), but I want to imagine how easy it would be to scale VDI deployments using those MI300's would be.
