CTOnews.com, June 14, Beijing time in the early hours of June 14, AMD brought more details and updates to the long-awaited data center APU (accelerated processor) Instinct MI300, which is designed to help the data center handle artificial intelligence-related data traffic and challenge Nvidia's monopoly in this fast-growing market.

An executive of Amazon Cloud Services (AWS), the world's largest cloud computing provider, told Reuters at the event that it was considering using AMD's new artificial intelligence chip, but no final decision had been made.

CTOnews.com noted that although AMD released some technical specifications showing that the artificial intelligence chip it launched later this year could surpass Nvidia's best products in some indicators, AMD's share price fell because AMD did not disclose the chip's customers.

In an interview with Reuters, AMD CEO Su Zifeng outlined a way to win over big cloud computing customers by providing all the parts needed to build services like ChatGPT, but letting customers choose which parts they want and use industry-standard connections. "We think a lot of people will want more choices, and they will want to customize what they need in their data centers," she said. "

Although AWS has not publicly promised to use AMD's new MI300 chips to provide its cloud services, Dave Brown, vice president of AWS Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2), said AWS is considering using these chips. "We are still working with AMD to see how far this will go between AWS and AMD, but this is what our team is working on," he said. "that's where we benefit from their work on design because it can be plugged into existing systems."

Nvidia will also sell its chips separately, but it is also providing cloud providers with an overall system designed by Nvidia called DGX Cloud, and Oracle was the first partner in such a system. Mr Brown said AWS did not consider Nvidia's DGX Cloud service. "they came to us and we looked at the business model and thought it didn't make much sense," he said. "

Brown says AWS prefers to design its own servers from scratch. AWS began selling Nvidia's H100 chip in March this year, but also as part of its own system.
