AMD’s Vega GPU Cube Is A 4×3 Inch 100 TFLOPS Monster – Meet The Mini-Nuke Of Supercomputers

AMD debuted its new family of Radeon Instinct GPUs for AI and deep-learning earlier this week, including the powerful MI25 featuring Vega. The company’s most advanced graphics architecture to date. One quite peculiar contraption was showcased on stage by Radeon Technologies Group’s head, Raja Koduri, which has caught our attention.

A small, 4×3 inch, quad GPU cube with one hundred TERAFLOPS of FP16 compute and half that in FP32. To put that figure into perspective, Nvidia’s liquid cooled Drive PX2 AI supercomputer for autonomous, driverless, cars delivers 16 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 8 TFLOPS of FP16 compute. That’s less than one sixth of what the Vega cube is capable of. And while the Drive PX2 is a large box meant to go inside the trunk of a car, the Vega cube fits into the palm your hand.
