AMD has plans to launch a new Instinct graphics card dedicated to data centers. The graphics card would not be other than the AMD Instinct MI200.
AMD Instinct MI200 is a graphics card that is powered by the company's CDNA architecture, which would feature an MCM design similar to that of Ryzen processors.
According to a leak from Komachi, AMD plans to release the Instinct MI200 card later this year with the new CDNA architecture and MCM (Multi-Chip-Modules). The specifications would be totally unknown today, but it could have twice the number of cores as the current Instinct with Arcturus architecture.
The original plan is for the AMD Instinct MI200 to debut with the Frontier supercomputer, which will also use the EPYC 'Trento' processors, which will be the successors to 'Milan'. The HPE Cray EX supercomputer is also listed as the target of this graphics card.
The product is referenced as MCM Special FIO Accelerator. MCM means is a Multi-Chip-Modules and FIO means “Factory Installation Option”. The MI200 will also use the OAM (Open Source Accelerator Infrastructure) form factor.
Last but not least, it is said that AMD Instinct MI200 graphics cards could support the full-rate FP64 instruction set, which will accelerate a much broader set of tasks than the MI100.
