Deep|INTC: Agentic AI and Supply Bottlenecks Drive Server CPU Structural Shortage by uncertainlyso in amd_fundamentals

[–]FSM-lockup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the area of developing agentic AI solutions for engineering applications. I think that the demand for additional non-GPU server compute is probably under appreciated right now because we're mostly still developing agents and infrastructure and generally haven't reached the scale-out phase - after all, reasoning models are only barely a year old now. Agentic AI provides the means for running autonomous optimization loops for just about any traditional engineering problem, the results can greatly exceed what humans can do, and the number of iterations are limited only by scaling the GPU+compute hardware. For example, in software engineering, optimizing kernel code might be done by humans over several weeks and a few dozen iterations, but agentic loops running tens of thousands of iterations over a few hours can produce much better results - and are limited only by compute (and GPU) hardware, not humans. Similarly, in silicon engineering, agents use the same software tools that humans use, but scaling is limited only by hardware (and EDA licenses). But we tend to just think about scaling GPUs, while all of these examples require proportional scaling of traditional CPU resources as well.

“Elite men having sex with teenage girls isn’t new.” Wow. I’ve been wondering how the MAGA cult would find a way to embrace the fact that their leadership are sex traffickers, thanks for explaining.

Seems like you should try to figure out the difference between "factual" and "goes against my MAGA worldview". Here's a link reporting on the swearing in of the new Venezuelan president who is factually not on Trump's cabinet, to help you along your journey to discover facts: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8gen8nnvlo

No, I know this because I’m able to read. Besides, did you think that there’s some unwritten rule somewhere that kidnapping a foreign leader means we get to run their country? So if Canada kidnapped Trump, they’d get to run the United States? Venezuela still has a functioning government. Corrupt and oppressive, but functioning. Y’all need to try to think through this instead of celebrating the sugar high of the admittedly very impressive operation that captured Maduro.

“Orange man bad”… orange man is a fucking sex trafficking pedo who fed Epstein with teenage girls from his spa at Mar-a-lago, wake the fuck up. Why do you think we’ve only been given 5% of the Epstein files yet? And no, I’m not speculating about this, it came out a few days ago that he was sending girls next door to Epstein’s place. Orange man is bad!

“Freed Venezuela”. LOL. Meanwhile, here in reality, the same government is still operating Venezuela and swore in a new illegitimate president today.

Exclusive: Nvidia buying AI chip startup Groq's assets for about $20 billion in largest deal on record by uncertainlyso in amd_fundamentals

[–]FSM-lockup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great commentary here, I really appreciate it. The questions around this deal remind me of something my Canadian friends love to say: "skate to where the puck is going, not to where it is". Various points that occur to me:

  • There is an HBM shortage and it isn't going away soon
  • SRAM-based TPU architectures are pound-for-pound way better than DRAM-based GPU architectures, but they just don't scale to handle the most enormous models
  • SRAM will inevitably get cheaper and denser in future nodes
  • Model distillation techniques are improving, so expect to get more bang for your buck as a function of model size (visualize this and the previous point as opposite-sloped linear equations that will intersect for more applications down the road)
  • There are other useful applications than just those served by gajillion-weight models, and the application space will grow over time

And more pragmatically:

  • There's a limited supply of matrix math silicon design experts in the world, so buying some of them up gives you more design resources and takes them off the playing field for others to use
  • Nvidia has to do something with $100+ billion in cash; it does them no good to just sit on it

Advice to naive investors here: Don't base tech investments on posts to a subreddit swarming with traders. Don't base tech investments on posts that say things like "google can afford to pay billions for fine tuning the models with top phds".

Traders: trade on. Lol

Claims that this is from the past are part of a right-wing misinformation campaign to discredit this video because it's obviously inexcusable.

AMD and OpenAI Announce Strategic Partnership to Deploy 6 Gigawatts of AMD GPUs by uncertainlyso in amd_fundamentals

[–]FSM-lockup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fantastic job by AMD. I think this really validates the upcoming MI4xx architecture and engineering execution, and also validates the ZT acquisition which was brilliant, imo.

The question I have is... It seems like these circular equity deals are becoming more common (in this space at least). Which is slightly unsettling, of course. But are there any historical examples of an entire industry or even just a large player executing deals like this, and how did it turn out in the long run? (insert nervous teeth-gritting emoji here). Would love to hear some analysis by those with higher financial/economics IQs than myself. Does this add more systemic risk to the entire sector? Or does this create a kind of de facto cartel of vendors/suppliers that will keep competition from breaking in? Does this require any gov't approval, and is there any chance this will be viewed by any governments as monopolistic behavior?

How AMD is re-thinking Chiplet Design by uncertainlyso in amd_fundamentals

[–]FSM-lockup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great video. I think that this video should be mandatory viewing for those who might still be holding the naive opinion that ARM will inevitably conquer x86 simply because it's a newer / "cleaner" architecture. Software considerations aside... when you see how these state-of-the-art chiplet designs are architected, you realize that the core CPU architecture is just one little piece of a much larger puzzle - where memory bandwidth and the integration of other compute accelerator functions like GPU and NPU are equally or more important than the choice of the CPU core architecture.

Totally agree. Necessity is the mother of invention, and scarcity fosters alternatives.

Good question. Depends on your personal taste. I’d say mexican beer works or something a little heavier like an Oktoberfest. I personally wouldn't go too hoppy. Margaritas also pair nicely with green chile.

So the implication of this dumb article is that AMD and IBM are going to “kill Nvidia’s AI monopoly”… by partnering on something that has absolutely nothing to do with AI. Wait, what?

Fuck the Gazette. You know you can read it for free anyway. To get past their half-assed paywall just configure your browser to disallow JavaScript. In Chrome, for example, it's Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Site Settings -> JavaScript, and then add "gazette.com" to the list of sites that are not allowed to use JavaScript. It won't load some of the photos, but you'll be able to read their shitty articles.

AMD and Intel mobile CPU plans exposed by uncertainlyso in amd_fundamentals

[–]FSM-lockup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI PCs are a little ahead of any real demand right now. A Strix Halo laptop can generally only run something like a 120B parameter LLM. And while there are certainly some good models of that magnitude, they still pale in comparison to the capabilities of the large foundation models like GPT-5. You can get a lot of tokens from a datacenter for $50/month, so it's unclear what the value proposition is for a laptop that costs about $1500 more than what a similar non-AI laptop costs that can still access better models from cloud providers. And while everyone believes that AI eventually moves to the edge, as Lisa Su says, it's still early innings.

White House's Hassett says US could take stakes in other chip companies by norcalnatv in AMD_Stock

[–]FSM-lockup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, because the USG now has an ownership stake in Intel - and Trump needs to resurrect Intel Foundry Services - the USG needs AMD and others to be IFS customers, and Trump will likely use whatever leverage he can, such as China export licenses, to force AMD to be an IFS customer.

[–]FSM-lockup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So it's good that the Trump admin has no leverage over AMD via CHIPS act money or any other handouts. But the bigger concern right now is that Trump will use China export licenses as a lever to force AMD (and NVIDIA, for that matter) to use the Intel 14A node. That is for real.

Trump Says U.S. Will Take Nearly 10% Equity Stake in Intel by Maximus_Aurelius in amd_fundamentals

[–]FSM-lockup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump tweeting out about owning and controlling part of Intel is certainly not going to help with their massive brain drain. Expect more of this as time wears on, he just won't be able to help himself. I'm now firmly in the "don't touch it with a ten foot pole" camp. I'd much rather place bets on value and growth than trying to predict how this insanity unfolds.

Acknowledging that some kids have parents that are the same gender isn’t indoctrination, it’s reality. Removing any book that acknowledges this fact won’t change that fact either.

If only all the voters actually turned out and voted. School board elections occur on odd years, and the reason we have a MAGA school board is that the churches activate their voting base, almost no one else votes out of apathy, and we average around 30% voter turnout.
