Cisco, G42, AMD Deploy 1GW AI Cluster in UAE, Pushing GPU Diversification and Full-Stack Integration
Cisco, G42, and AMD partner to deploy a large-scale AI cluster in the UAE based on AMD MI350X GPUs, integrating Cisco's full-stack secure AI infrastructure (UCS servers, Nexus 9K switches, Firepower firewalls). This marks Cisco's transformation into a full-stack AI infrastructure integrator and positions AMD as a second GPU supplier for US-allied nations, locking out Chinese vendors in the UAE market.
AMD MLPerf 6.0: MI350 GPUs Achieve 3.5x Leap with MXFP4, Debut Multi-Node Training
AMD submitted its most comprehensive MLPerf Training 6.0 results, including first multi-node training (FLUX.1 on 512 GPUs) and MXFP4 training recipe. MI355X delivers 3.5x generational leap over MI300X on Llama 2-70B, within 5% of NVIDIA B200. 10 ecosystem partners validated reproducibility.
AMD Announces Breakthrough MLPerf Inference 6.0 Results, Showcasing Multinode Scaling and Multimodal Capabilities
AMD's MLPerf Inference 6.0 submission, powered by Instinct MI355X GPUs, surpassed 1 million tokens per second for the first time on models like Llama 2 70B and GPT-OSS-120B. The results highlight efficient multinode scaling, rapid enablement of new workloads (e.g., text-to-video model Wan-2.2-t2v), and reproducible performance across a broad partner ecosystem.
AMD and Samsung Deepen Collaboration, Locking HBM4 Supply and Exploring Foundry Partnership
AMD and Samsung signed an MOU, designating Samsung as the primary HBM4 supplier for the next-gen Instinct MI455X GPU and collaborating on DDR5 memory optimized for 6th Gen EPYC CPUs. The companies will also explore opportunities for Samsung to provide foundry services for future AMD products.
