AMD announced a range of new products today at its Data Center and AI Technology Premiere event here in San Francisco, California. The company shared more details about its EPYC Genoa-X processors with up to 1.1GB of L3 cache, which are shipping now.

Micron said on Wednesday that it would introduce its first GDDR7 memory chips in the first half of next year. The new type of memory promises to offer higher performance than GDDR6 and GDDR6X, but it will require brand-new memory controllers and therefore GPUs.

The next generation of data center platforms from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia will consume 500W – 1000W of power, a slide from a Gigabyte roadmap published by renowned hardware leaker HXL indicates. Cooling these CPUs and GPUs down will require some serious effort, come 2024 – 2025.

AMD's Ryzen Z1 series chips, designed for gaming handhelds like the Asus ROG Ally, and its Ryzen 7040U chips, which the company announced for ultraportables earlier this week, may be far more similar than anyone expected.
