Artificial intelligence development relies on substantial computing capabilities, especially for training large language models with billions of parameters. To address these computational demands, NVIDIA has announced its collaboration with AMD to create new professional AI solutions.
NVIDIA, a pioneer in AI solutions, aims to maintain its leadership in the industry by partnering with AMD to develop professional-grade workstations. These workstations are built upon the foundation of RTX Ada Generation GPUs and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 WX-Series CPUs.
The goal of these workstations is to provide efficient resources for developing AI applications, particularly for smaller models that do not require extensive computing resources.
Key features of these high-performance workstations include:
- Custom GPU Selection: Users can configure the workstations with RTX graphics cards, which offer up to 48GB of high-bandwidth VRAM memory. This enhances data processing speed and reduces the reliance on large data centers, especially for simpler AI models.
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO CPUs: These processors, with up to 96 cores and high memory bandwidth, are ideal for AI tasks and are considered industry leaders by NVIDIA.
- Performance Advantages: The combination of AMD Threadripper processors with RTX Ada Generation GPUs results in high-powered systems. They offer up to double the performance in Ray Tracing and excel in AI processing, graphics rendering, and other computationally intensive tasks.
These advanced AI workstations are equipped with Ada Lovelace GPUs, including models such as RTX 4000 SFF, RTX 4000, RTX 4500, RTX 5000, and RTX 6000. These GPUs feature up to 142 third-generation RT Cores, 568 fourth-generation Tensor Cores, and 18,176 CUDA Cores.
The new workstations will be available from next month and will be distributed by BOXX and HPE. Other integrators are expected to offer these systems at a later date.
While pricing details have not been disclosed, it is expected that these high-performance workstations will come with a price tag in the thousands of euros, with even the RTX 4000 SFF GPU alone costing €1,775.
These collaborative efforts between NVIDIA and AMD aim to provide professionals with powerful tools for AI development, which will further advance the capabilities and potential of artificial intelligence.
