Intel generation 10 core has added AI acceleration function since the beginning, which is part of avx-512 instruction set. It is inevitable that AMD has finally obtained the authorization of Intel avx-512 instruction set? (only the previous generation avx2 is now supported). Hallock confirmed that the Ruilong 7000 does use the avx-512 instruction set, but there are only two, one is vnni for neural network, and the other is blaat16 (bf16) for reasoning**
He pointed out that more and more consumer applications support AI acceleration, such as video scaling, which is also a trend The avx-512 instruction set brings remarkable acceleration
Hallock also pointed out that the Ruilong 7000 does not use the fixed unit AI acceleration module, and this work may be done through Xilinx, which is acquired from the company. This also implies that AMD processors will add more additional units in the future, especially FPGAs.
Intel avx-512 has always been controversial because it uses very little power, and is often used by some players for extreme copying.
Now it seems that avx-512 is still very useful, at least in terms of AI acceleration. Intel is also quite generous. It gave amd its unique secret for many years.
Other key points revealed by Hallock in the interview include:
- the Reebok 7000 has 16 cores at most, but no 24 cores.
- 170W is the maximum TDP (thermal design power consumption). In addition, there is a PPT (package power tracking) with a maximum of 230W, which can be understood as the degree of performance release.
- the 6N IOD in the Reebok 7000 integrates rdna2 GPU and is available throughout the whole line, but the specification is very low. There are only a few computing units. Its function is limited to video encoding and decoding, multi screen output, and temporary lighting in case of independent graphics card failure.
- the Ruilong 75800x3d is not the last AM4 interface product.
- the service life of the Am5 interface has not been determined yet. We will see how many generations of products are supported and how many years they will be used.
