It looks like AMD is preparing a 4nm refresh of its MI300 AI accelerator known as MI350 which is planned for later this year.

AMD MI350 AI Accelerator to Feature Refreshed 4nm Architecture, Planned to Launch Later This Year

AMD's current MI300 lineup consists of the AI-optimized MI300X and compute-optimized MI300A accelerators, but it looks like the company is planning to expand its portfolio. We recently saw the appearance of the MI388X as a possible export variant for China, but AMD said it was held back from shipping. The MI388X was supposed to be another CDNA 3 offering using 5nm and 6nm process technology, but it looks like AMD has a proper refresh planned for its Instinct family later this year.

According to a report from Trend force, it looks like AMD might be launching a new part called the Instinct MI350 that will use the latest CDNA 3 architecture using TSMC's 4nm process node. Although details of the Instinct MI350 are thin, AMD itself recently teased that it A future update of the Instinct MI300 series offering advanced HBM3E capabilities. So a great architecture on the 4nm node combined with high HBM capabilities can lead to some decent benefits.

Additionally, TrendForce notes that the expansion of export controls now includes not only previously restricted AI chips from NVIDIA and AMD, such as NVIDIA A100/H100, AMD MI250/300 series, NVIDIA A800, H800, L40, L409, L400S. but also their next-generation successors such as NVIDIA's H200, B100, B200, GB200, and AMD's MI350 series. In response, HPC manufacturers have increasingly developed products that comply with the new TPP and PD standards, such as NVIDIA's adjusted H20/L20/L2, which are export-eligible.

Video cards AMD was also able to find a Singapore listing that confirms the Instinct MI350 accelerator lineup. The product has already been introduced for silicon manufacturing and optimization.

Remember that AMD will compete with both NVIDIA and Intel in the AI ​​space. gave Blackwell B100 GPUs are in production and the B100/B200 It will be available to users soon. Meanwhile, so does Intel Announced its Gaudi 3 Accelerator. which offer 50% faster AI compute than NVIDIA H100 GPUs. So the place is heating up. I Recent MLPerf benchmarksNVIDIA and Intel were the only ones to submit their AI performance benchmarks, while AMD missed out on the spotlight as it didn't submit any numbers.

TrendForce has also shared a complete list of products that are affected by the latest version of US export controls against China. These include several current and upcoming GPUs, including AMD's Instinct MI388X and MI350 series.

US Export Controlled Products (restricted to China / until March 29):

There is also AMD has confirmed its next-generation MI400 AI accelerator, which should be released in 2025. and feature a more capable architecture built for the AI-era. AMD is also working on it. ROCm has made the software suite and some blocks open source. To fine-tune its performance for AI workloads.
