Ryan was not the only one at AMD's Radeon Instinct briefing, covering their shot across NVIDIA's HPC products. The Tech Report just released their coverage of the event and the tidbits which AMD provided about the MI25, MI8 and MI6; no relation to a certain British governmental department. They focus a bit more on the technologies incorporated into GEMM and point out that AMD's top is not matched by an NVIDIA product, the GP100 GPU does not come as an add-in card. Pop by to see what else they had to say.
"Thus far, Nvidia has enjoyed a dominant position in the burgeoning world of machine learning with its Tesla accelerators and CUDA-powered software platforms. AMD thinks it can fight back with its open-source ROCm HPC platform, the MIOpen software libraries, and Radeon Instinct accelerators. We examine how these new pieces of AMD's machine-learning puzzle fit together."

Zen and Radeon Pro WX, and
Zen and Radeon Pro WX, and Radeon Instinct will free AMD from a total dependency on any single sycophant gaming market! AMD will be able to make more revenues from the higher margin producing HPC/Workstation/Server and Machine learning markets and the also the exascale market! No more will AMD be dependent on any fickle consumer sentiments for its very survival! This is good news for AMD and actually good news for AMD’s consumer markets also, as the majority of AMD’s R&D will be financed by the HPC/Workstation/Server and Machine learning markets and the also the exascale markets.
So the Consumer SKUs from AMD can remain lower cost with the professional market funding more of AMD’s total R&D costs to allow for AMD to bring that professional IP down into its consumer SKUs!
This is great news for AMD, and for AMD’s long term business viability.

Couple centuries later, there will be no gaming gits what with them all going bye bye in the next war big war! Now go back to your Swife, Floyd R Turbo! Gaming is not enough to keep any GPU/CPU maker in business! That single sycophant fickle basement gaming market is not enough business to pay the bills! No more will AMD have to worry about pleasing a single market so susceptible to the irrational electrical pulses in that pea sized lump of mostly defective gray matter floating in a sea of lipids under a thick layer on bone!
Good For AMD and the professional markets where actual productive work/science gets done!

If AMD followed your
If AMD followed your irrational thinking and did away with all gaming cards and consoles, how do you think it would affect the company? They would definitely make Nvidia richer as they would have the gaming markets to themselves.
You may think that would give them more money to pour into the server market which may be true but giving away the market to Nvidia would also give them more money as well. How much more each gets is the question?
At least gaming has been proven to improve reflexes and hand eye coordination among other things. Gaming simulators make for better pilots and such. To better defend your privelieged television watching, post spamming and trolling ass.
Let me guess you don’t watch the “idiot” box either.

What kind of fucking half assed news is this. The P100 PCIE has been out for months.
Yeah, it even has a range of
Yeah, it even has a range of different PCIe cards with the O100 cut down based on HBM links. I wouldn’t say they’ve been ‘available for months’, but they have been known about since June: http://www.anandtech.com/show/10433/nvidia-announces-pci-express-tesla-p100

I guess what I SHOULD have said is do you have a link for where you can BUY one?
I tried to find a Tesla P100 PCIe card and didn’t see an actual product for sale.
Perhaps it’s hidden away from the average consumer.

While searching have you found any mi25? 😉
I have seen some reports of
I have seen some reports of the vega based card only having 512 GB/s of memory bandwidth. I would have expected more, if not the full 1 TB/s that HBM2 is supposed to support. Perhaps they just don’t need that high of bandwidth with improved color compression, caches, and othe bandwidth saving features. Also, for the consumer space, I would assume that Nvidia will have a 1080 Ti to spoil AMD’s launch.
For the server/workstation market, AMD seems to have some very interesting products. All maner of interesting things are possible. The problem is, in such markets, the cost of the hardware is often a lot less important than it is in the consumer market. There needs to be a big reason for people to switch; just matching performance will not be enough. offering a lower price for hardware is probably mostly irrelevant.
