At its 'Next Horizon' event, AMD presented what the new generation Radeon Instinct manufactured at 7nm means. The MI60 graphics card is the first of its kind to be manufactured with a 7nm node in the world.
Vega based 7nm Radeon Instinct is 25% faster and consumes 50% less
Moving to the coveted 7nm allows AMD to take full advantage of the Vega architecture. This allows them to increase performance by 25%, while consuming 50% less power at the same frequency. AMD is also capable of packaging more than 13.2 billion transistors in a 331mm2 array.
This GPU comes with 32GB of memory using HBM2 with built- in error detection and correction with ECC. This is a significant leap from the 16GB HBM2 on the Radeon Instinct MI25 .
MI60 is not only the first 7nm GPU, but also the industry's first PCIe 4.0 capable GPU. This translates to 64GB / s bidirectional bandwidth from CPU to GPU. In addition, it is also capable of working at 100GB / s per link for GPU to GPU bandwidth. While Vega's design remains relatively the same, with 64 calculation units and 4096 SPs, it also has additional operating instructions for Deep Learning and with optimizations for the HPC market.
Competing against Nvidia's Tesla V100
AMD claims that the graphics card has 7.4 TFLOPS on dual precision FP64 and 14.7 TFLOPS on FP32 with single precision calculation. In terms of maximum theoretical computing power, AMD says it reaches 118 TFLOPS on INT4.
The MI60 also seems to scale superbly in configurations with multiple GPUs. Two MI60s nearly double the performance at 1.99X, while four GPUs get 3.98X performance and eight GPUs have performance up to 7.64X.
Radeon Instinct MI60 is expected to go on sale this year.
