"With all the hype around AI, the importance of accelerated computing hasn't been lost on Cantrill or Tuck. However, he notes that while Oxide has looked at supporting GPUs, he's actually much more interested in APUs like AMD's newly launched MI300A. The APU, which we explored at length back in December, combines 24 Zen 4 cores, six CDNA 3 cores, and 128GB of HBM3 memory into a single socket. "To me the APU is the mainstreaming of this accelerated computer where we're no longer having to have these like islands of acceleration," Cantrill said." Ok, but does it provide the performance customers want?
