At this year’s ITF World, the CEO of AMD Lisa Su indicated that the next products arriving in the coming years from the company will present great improvements in energy management, offering a better efficiency energy which will be 100 times higher than the current one. This way we can see AMD’s commitment to bringing innovative technologies, which is more than enough reason for them to have won the imec innovation award.
One of the big problems that exists today is the power consumption of virtually all information technology related products, whether processors, graphics or other components, power consumption they need can be extremely high. This is why many companies have started trying to develop their technologies taking this problem into account, offering solutions to the problems that excessive consumption can cause.
A change that will come thanks to artificial intelligence
Although it may seem like a joke, one of the main reasons why businesses like AMD began to see the consumption energetic The problem with their products is not due to the temperatures their products can reach, since in recent years they have focused on adding more cores at higher speeds without considering consumption and heat that they can generate.
And it seems like they’ve really woken up to the problem now that generative AIs are being used for pretty much everything, which is that this type of technology uses a lot of energy because it needs a lot of energy to operate.
In this case, it is from AMD They realized that this was not a sustainable model, since the use of AI
This is quite worrying, but according to AMD, the measures are already underway, and for the products that they are going to launch in 2025 they aim to increase the energy efficiency of the computing nodes by 30, but they have also indicated that now , see a path to more than 100x improvement by 2026 or 2027.
The changes would improve the efficiency of all AMD products
While energy improvements are actually offered for products that use artificial intelligence, as you would expect, these types of improvements could also be applied to components that don’t have this specific use. In this way we can expect that the improvements will be made not only at the corporate level for all the products that AMD exports to data centers and others with the aim of being used for tasks related to AI, but that they can be applied at a general level.
This would obviously imply one more step for AMD to position itself as a leading company in the national processor sector, since they currently have some of the most powerful on the market, but they have the same problem as their competitor, consumption and temperature are excessively high. high. This is why if we see these changes implemented by the company that created Ryzen, but Intel continues to create higher performance processors with exorbitant consumption and temperatures, we could end the debate over which of the two companies truly dominates the market.
