AMD inches closer to its goal of making AI suck less ... energy
House of Zen claims latest systems already 4x more efficient than two years ago
AI’s thirst for power remains an ongoing concern, but fear not: AMD says it’s making steady progress towards its goal of boosting rack efficiency 20x by the end of the decade.
In a blog post published this week, the House of Zen estimates that, as of 2026, its systems are already 4x more efficient than they were in 2024.
Certainly, a lot has changed since then. As you may recall, AMD began volume production of the MI300X, its first true datacenter GPU designed for AI, that year.
The 750-watt part boasted up to 2.6 petaFLOPS of dense FP8 performance, which at the time made it competitive on paper with Nvidia’s Hopper generation of AI accelerators.
Since then, AMD has pulled every lever and pushed every buttonat its disposal to squeeze more FLOPS per watt...
