Dell cosies up with AMD to expand its generative AI

Dell has added an AMD-powered server to its high-performance computing portfolio for AI workloads.

In addition to an Nvidia-powered version, customers will soon be able to purchase a new version of the Dell PowerEdge XE9680 equipped with eight AMD Instinct MI300X accelerators. This helps companies train and run their own in-house large language models (LLMs) – offering 1.5 GB of high-bandwidth memory (HBM3) and more than 21 petaFLOPS of performance.
