Feels like a datacenter play for specialized compute. Given AMDs domination of server workloads in $/performance, seems like doubling down on that advantage. FPGA is already used today to offload SSL termination from the CPU.
- baybal2 6y agoStrange choice on performance-cost standpoint
- 01100011 6y agoYeah it feels like a move to try and keep up with Nvidia. With Xilinx, they might be able to offer a networking offload product similar to Mellanox. They can also focus on ML acceleration that is custom tailored to the task instead of trying to push GPUs. AMD really needs to focus on software if they want to catch Nvidia though.
