AMD has announced that the Instinct MI300X accelerator and Instinct MI300A accelerated processing unit (APU) are now available as part of the company's new Instinct MI300 Series, aimed at high-performance computing, generative AI, and similar applications.

I hope we never see the day when bullshit like this is integrated in mainstream CPU's.

Uhhh too late? Even mobile CPU's are doing AI acceleration now. It's been like that or projected to be that for over a year now.

To not expect it at this point (even if it is just a marketing blurb) is primary school yard fit throwing. It's coming, it is literally already happening in modern desktop/laptop CPU's.

Just just hope they don't or in your case do paywall it behind some subscription theme to unlock AI acceleration. (Like Intel wants to do with their next gen Xeon CPU's. )
 
Apple has had an AI accelerator in their SOC since A11 (iPhone X) -- they first used it to power Face ID/ biometrics.

The latest Apple Watch even added 4 AI cores to the watch SOC - they use it there to process voice commands for Siri and new gesture-based controls, among other things.

Well, to each their own, but I want absolutely no AI computation on my computer or any devices of mine. I also don't want anything derived from AI computation elsewhere to fins its way onto my computer or any other devices.

I want honest, local, static computing. That's it. Not just today, but every day, for now and for all eternity.
 
Lets be real all AI processing nodes are, are nodes with instruction sets for better processing of specific data types. In this case used for 'ai' like functions... that are just enhanced scripting. Just beyond what is easily processed on a normal core.
 
I'm fine with whatever accelerators they want to put in my stuff - so long as I have a reasonable understanding of what it's doing and who it's talking it.
