'Another startup that will cause gaming GPU prices to spike': AI firm claims Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPUs are better value than Nvidia's H100 — nearly six hundred backers believe that is the case

Tiny Corp., a startup specializing in the neural network framework tinygrad, has introduced a new AI system called tinybox. This system employs six AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics cards and is designed to provide PetaFLOPS-class performance for artificial intelligence tasks. Priced at $15,000, the compact tinybox features high performance, with up to 738 FP16 TFLOPS and 96GB of GDDR6 memory delivering 21TB/s of aggregated memory bandwidth. The company has received 583 preorders and plans to begin shipping in April. The tinybox aims to offer an affordable alternative to Nvidia's H100 at a lower cost.

AMD promises “mainstream” 4K gaming with next-gen GPUs as current-gen GPU sales tank

AMD plans to launch the new Radeon RX 9000-series GPUs, aiming to offer mainstream 4K gaming, in response to declining current-gen GPU sales. The 9070 XT and 9070 GPUs are set to hit the market in March 2025, promising improved power efficiency and enhanced ray-tracing through a new manufacturing process and ML-powered upscaling. Positioning itself against Nvidia's RTX 4070 series, AMD hopes to capture attention and market share with competitively priced GPUs.

'Instincts are massively cheaper than Nvidia's H100': AMD is selling flagship AI GPUs at a huge discount to Microsoft — but I'm not sure that will be enough to bother Nvidia

AMD is offering its flagship AI GPUs, the Instincts, at a significant discount to Microsoft, providing a competitive alternative to Nvidia's pricier H100. The pricing difference between Nvidia's H100 and AMD's MI300X is substantial, with AMD's GPUs costing up to four times less. However, Nvidia's dominant position in the AI GPU market is unlikely to be substantially impacted due to its established software stack and high demand. AMD is predicted to generate $3.5 billion in AI-related revenue this year, but some analysts believe that figure could be underestimated.

First crack in Nvidia AI wall? Meta set to use own AI chips in its servers in 2024 — but it will still use Nvidia H100 GPUs as well in its datacenters for now

Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, is planning to deploy its own custom-designed AI chips, called Artemis, in its data centers this year. This move aims to reduce Meta's reliance on Nvidia's H100 chips and control the rising costs of running AI workloads. The successful deployment of its own chip could save Meta hundreds of millions of dollars in energy costs and billions in chip purchasing costs. However, Meta will continue to use Nvidia's GPUs in its data centers, with plans to have 350,000 H100 processors in service by the end of the year.

NVIDIA, AMD may soon start selling new AI chips in China to comply with US restrictions | TechCrunch

NVIDIA and AMD plan to sell new AI GPUs in China to align with U.S. export restrictions on advanced semiconductor technology. NVIDIA will offer a "B20" GPU, while AMD introduces the Radeon AI PRO R9700 for AI workloads. These sales are set to begin in July. NVIDIA also anticipates an $8 billion revenue impact in Q2 due to licensing constraints affecting its H20 chip sales in China, following a $4.5 billion hit in Q1.

Mark Zuckerberg is sitting on a mountain of the hottest commodity in tech right now

Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is set to accumulate a large stockpile of Nvidia's highly sought-after H100 chips, with over 340,000 chips expected by the end of 2024. Additionally, Meta estimates they will have a total stockpile of 600,000 GPUs, including Nvidia's A100s and other AI chips. This move positions Meta ahead in the race for AI superiority as companies clamor to get their hands on limited supplies of AI chips.

Could AMD break Nvidia’s chokehold on chips?

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has emerged as a strong competitor to Nvidia in the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market. AMD's new MI300 chip outperforms Nvidia's H100 chip in terms of specifications, and the company expects to sell $3.5 billion worth of MI300s in 2023. AMD's focus on CPUs for data-center servers and GPUs for gaming consoles has paid off, with its market value growing 100-fold to $270 billion. However, AMD still faces tough competition from Nvidia's dominance in AI accelerator chips, but its strong hardware and partnerships position it as a viable alternative.

Bidders flag end-of-life GPUs offered under IndiaAI Mission

Concerns have emerged over IndiaAI Mission’s use of end-of-life (EOL) GPUs, which some companies claim are unsuitable for mission-critical workloads due to potential lack of support. Although Nvidia's A100 GPUs are still powerful, they are no longer sold to OEMs. Critics worry about performance issues, while others argue they offer value given current GPU shortages. The debate centers around balancing cost-effectiveness with the risk of using outdated technology in evolving AI landscapes.
