The headliner is the 4x efficiency increase from 2024-2026. The HN headline comes from a section discussing 2030 projections: > What Efficiency Gains are Expected? Based on a representative AI training workload, AMD projected rack-scale energy-efficiency gains are expected to produce one of two related benefits by 2030: > Same compute, fewer resources: Approximately two 2030 AMD racks are expected to deliver the same compute as 570 racks in 2024, enabling a reduction in use-phase electricity by 20x and carbon intensity by 28x. > More compute, same energy: Alternatively, efficiency gains are expected to enable 20x more compute, measured in floating point operations per second (FLOPs) per watt, using the same amount of energy. | ||||||||

Funny that they share a carbon intensity number that seems totally divorced from the technology itself. Is AMD taking credit for the electric grid cleaning up? | ||||||||
