Processador AMD Reaches Highest Overall x86 Chip Market Share Since 2013

Parece que a AMD atingiu 16% de quota de mercado, na gama de Servidores:
AMD CAPTURES HISTORIC-BEST 16% OF SERVER CPU MARKET ACCORDING TO OMDIA DATA CENTER SERVER MARKET TRACKER

Competition in the market for high-performance semiconductors targeting data center workloads is red hot according to the latest Data Center Server Market Tracker from research group Omdia.

In the server CPU market, AMD scored its best-ever quarter from a market share and sales perspective with demand from hyperscale cloud service providers, and Google in particular, being a big contributing factor to AMD’s strong performance.

The demand for servers across all market segments remained strong in the second quarter of 2021 amidst concerns about order fulfillment due to component constraints. The industry saw 3.4 million servers shipped in the second quarter of 2021, the same amount as during the record second quarter of 2020. This was in line with Omdia’s forecast for the quarter and resulted in a total of $21.5 billion dollars of vendor revenue.

Full year server revenue is on track to grow 11 percent, reaching $92 billion. The strong revenue growth is boosted by a steady increase in server prices. Omdia continues to see servers optimized for compute- and data-intensive workloads like artificial intelligence and analytics take higher share of the annual shipments. These are configured with a pool of co-processors, more memory and faster storage.

A AMD não parece ter problemas em vender todos os Epyc que consegue produzir. Neste quarto, parece que o grande comprador foi a Google.
 
Bom parece que o Frontier não entrou a tempo da lista divulgada hoje, mas...

Top500: No Exascale, Fugaku Still Reigns, Polaris Debuts at #12​

The first newcomer joins at number 10: a system built by Microsoft Azure called Voyager-EUS2 that spans AMD Epyc Rome CPUs (48-core parts, running at 2.45GHz), Nvidia A100 80GB GPUs, and HDR InfiniBand, delivering 30 Linpack petaflops out of 39.5 peak petaflops. This translates into a respectable 76 percent Linpack efficiency, owing to Microsoft’s use of HDR InfiniBand. Voyager-EUS2 was spun up in the Azure East US 2 region.

HPE picks up the next two spots with two new systems making their debut on the list.

At number 11 is “SSC-21”, made for Samsung Electronics. The Apollo 6500 Gen10 Plus system features AMD Epyc Milan 7543 CPUs, each with 32-cores running at 2.8GHz, and InfiniBand HDR200 networking. SSC-21 delivers 25.2 Linpack petaflops out of a potential 31.8 peak petaflops, which comes out to a Linpack efficiency of 79 percent. A smaller 2.27 petaflops HPE system that uses very similar architecture – SSC-21 Scalable Module – achieved 33.98 gigaflops-per-watt energy-efficiency, securing it a second-place spot on the Green500.
Argonne National Laboratory’s Polaris supercomputer claims the 12th spot. Based on HPE’s Apollo 6500, Polaris contains ~560 second-generation AMD Epyc Rome 7532 CPUs (32 cores, 2.4GHz) plus ~2,240 Nvidia A100 40GB SXM4 GPUs with Slingshot 10 networking. It achieved an HPL score of 23.8 petaflops out of a possible 34.6 peak petaflops (68.8 percent efficiency).
New in fourteenth place is CEA-HF, a 23.24 Linpack petaflops Atos BullSequana XH2000 system provided to the Commissariat a l’Energie Atomique (CEA) in France. CEA-HF comprises AMD third-generation Milan Epyc CPUs (64-core SKUs running at 2.45GHz), networked by Atos’ own BXI V2 interconnect.
New to the list – in spots 19, 36, 40 and 43 – are four Russian systems. Chervonenkis (#19 with 21.5 petaflops) and Galushkin (#36 with 16.0 petaflops) were made by IPE, Nvidia and Tyan for Russian internet company YANDEX. The systems employ 64-core AMD Rome Epyc processors running at 2GHz paired with Nvidia A100 80GB GPUs, implementing InfiniBand networking.

A third Russian supercomputer, Lyapunov, was also built for YANDEX, grabbing the 40th spot with 12.8 Linpack petaflops. Lyapunov is based on Inspur’s NF5488A5 servers, outfitted with 64-core AMD Rome Epyc processors (running at 2GHz) paired with Nvidia A100 40GB GPUs, networked with InfiniBand. The system is manufactured by two Chinese organizations: NUDT and Inspur.

  • O tal sistema que estreou em 12º, do Argonne National Lab foi "encomenda de emergência" motivado pelos sucessivos atrasos da Intel em fornecer o Aurora.
  • Não deixa de surpreender o "sistema" em 10º lugar ser na realidade um Sistema Cloud da Azure (Microsoft).
  • Não entendi muito bem a finalidade do tal sistema para a Samsung, R&D?
  • Não deixa de ser surpreendente os 4 novos sistemas para a Russia, um dos quais "Lyapunov" montado por uma empresa chinesa - NUDT - supostamente na "blacklist" (desde 2015) que impede o acesso a tecnologia ocidental recente, e a outra - Inspur - foi colocada na mesma lista o ano passado 🤔
