At the OCP Global Summit, Intel detailed its GPU D-series (codenamed Crescent Island), built on the Xe3P architecture with up to 480 GB LPDDR5X memory, 1.5 TB/s memory bandwidth and 1.3 petaflops of FP8 compute at 350 watts; a single card supports 300-billion-parameter models and an 8-card system supports over 1 trillion parameters.
AMD released an "Advanced Insights" video explaining how the Zen architecture is evolving for the agentic AI era. The page contains only AMD brand asset download terms, with no specific technical details or data on the architecture's evolution.
AMD has released a white paper evaluating 6th Gen AMD EPYC 9006 "Venice" server CPUs across general-purpose, enterprise, cloud-native, AI and HPC workloads.
AMD claims that 14 EPYC 9965 servers can replace 100 dual-socket Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 servers aged 5-7 years, cutting server count by 86% while delivering the same total performance, reducing power consumption by 69% and three-year TCO by 41%.
AMD announced that its Instinct GPUs and EPYC CPUs will provide the compute for Europe's next-generation LUMI-AI supercomputer. (The original article contains only AMD trademark download terms and provides no further technical details of the partnership.)
At Advancing AI 2026 on July 23, AMD unveiled a full-stack AI and physical AI product portfolio, including its first rackscale solution, AMD Helios (72 Instinct MI455X GPUs plus 18 6th Gen EPYC "Venice" CPUs).
Why it matters: The official announcement consolidates Helios rack, MI400 series CPU/GPU spec figures, and major customer deployment plans, allowing readers to benchmark actual progress against competing solutions.
Intel announced a series of AI innovations at Computex 2026, spanning from chips to system-level solutions. Intel is working with SambaNova and Foxconn to build rack-scale AI inference infrastructure based on Xeon processors and the SambaNova SN-50 RDU.
