AMD Unleashes 32-Core Processor While Betting on Machine Learning in GPU - GuruFocus.com

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is rallying as the company unveiled the world's first 7nm graphics processing unit (GPU) alongside the new 32 core Ryzen Threadripper processor at Computex Tapai 2018 through a live stream yesterday. The next generation Vega GPU products will be based on GlobalFoundries' 7nm technology and are expected to be launched during the second half of 2018. The new 32 core Threadripper CPU, however, will be based on a 12nm process technology and is set to debut during the third quarter of 2018. Furthermore, AMD continues to make strides on the server side as it will start sampling the 7nm EPYC – processors targeting data centers and servers – during the second half of 2018. "At Computex 2018 we demonstrated how the strongest CPU and GPU product portfolio in the industry gets even stronger in the coming months," said AMD President and CEO Dr. Lisa Su in a press release.
