Amd radeon instinct mi25, vega 10 comes to deep learning

There is still no trace of the Vega architecture for the gaming world, but the same cannot be said for the professional sector, first came the Radeon Frontier and now the new Radeon Instinct MI25 has been announced , which uses all the power of Vega silicon 10 for the field of deep learning.

AMD Radeon Instinct MI25

The new AMD Radeon Instinct MI25 includes a Vega 10 silicon capable of delivering a power of 12.3 TFLOPs in FP32 and 24.6 TFLOPs in FP16, figures that make it 60% more powerful than the GeForce GTX Titan X Pascal. For the clueless, we remind you that Vega 10 includes no less than 4, 096 stream processors spread over 64 new generation Compute Units that operate at a maximum speed of 1500 MHz. As for memory, the Radeon Instinct MI25 has 16 GB HBM2 with a bandwidth of 484 GB / s. The TDP of this card is 300W so, in fact, the Vega architecture seems to consume a lot of energy.

AMD RX Vega custom cards will arrive in early August

The rumors suggest that Vega's gaming versions will arrive in August, but the truth is that there has been so much talk about Vega that we no longer know what to believe, initially it was thought that they would arrive at the end of last year but half a year later I have only made an appearance in the professional sector. At the end of the year Nvidia's Volta architecture arrives, which should be much superior to Vega and Pascal, so it seems highly likely that AMD would be better suited to allocate the available Vega silicons to the professional sector.
