Amd radeon instinct my 100 arcturus: your bios shows

AMD does not stop working for a moment and is already preparing " Arcturus ", the chip that will continue the silk of Navi. We know that it will be called " Radeon Instinct MI 100 " and that it will be focused on Artificial Intelligence. So, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the personal computer industry, but don't take your eyes off what comes next.

AMD Radeon Instinct MI 100: we know its BIOS

Among other sources, thanks to TechPowerUp we know this brand called Radeon Instinct, which AMD refers to as " Server accelerators ". The GPU is identified as " 0x1002 0x738C ", so it is confirmed that it is AMD and Arcturus.

Among the data that your BIOS confirms, we know its memory, which will be 32 GB HBM2 and at a frequency of 1000 MHz. This translates to 1TB / s bandwidth, if the memory bus width is 4096-bit.

Both Samsung and Hynix memories are supported and we know their TDP limit thanks to this code "MI100 D34303 A1 XL 200W 32GB 100m": 200 W. We have been quite surprised by this data because it is a graphics card that will come with 128 core units and 8, 192 shaders. The previous Vega 64 and Radeon Instinct MI60 had 300 W of TDP along with 4, 096 shaders; The 5700 XT has a 225W TDP and 2560 shaders.

Therefore, brutal efficiency improvements are anticipated in this AMD Radeon Instinct MI 100. In addition, more frequencies appear such as: 1334 MHz, 1091 MHz and 1000 MHz. It seems to fit us the data of 1000 MHz of memory clock because in the BIOS we see the name of " 1000m ". According to TechPowerUp, AMD engineers order the frequencies as follows:

GPU clock. SOC clock. Memory clock.

1333Mhz (1Mhz は vBIOS の表記ずれ) で 200W なら、 7936SP or 7680SP @ 1600Mhz ~ 1800Mhz で 300W ぐらいすかね？ (MI100 は、 XL だけ T い。ののののののの ps の ps ps ps のの

Not for gamers, but watch out for the Navi 20 series

With all of this, Arcturus is going to follow the patterns of AMD's big new GPUs like Artificial Intelligence accelerators. So, it is not intended to power enthusiast PCs, for example. This is not a bigger Navi; in fact, it is closer to Vega. From AMD Linux sources, they say that Arcturus has no 3D engine.

But, rest assured that AMD will release a new line of Navi 20 series that equip 7nm EUV chips and will be launched throughout 2020. Furthermore, several important positions have left clues about focusing new products on 4K, as well that we will have power to buy.

What do you think of this AI GPU? Will this new product be successful?
