New AMD Instinct MI100 GPU is several times faster than prior generation accelerators.
While the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 might be the most powerful gaming graphics card that you can buy today, chipmaker AMD has announced a new GPU accelerator that it claims to be the world’s fastest high-performance computing (HPC) GPU. Clocking in at 11.54 teraflops in internal AMD tests, the Instinct MI100 is the first x86 server GPU to surpass the 10 teraflops performance barrier. The Santa Clara-based tech giant is pitching the new chip for scientific research, highlighting its ability to handle workloads that matter in scientific computing.
