[Hardware] Nvidia CEO brushes off AMD's massive new graphics card: 'Every year there’s an Nvidia killer'

[rlex]

 

Nvidia's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, appears not to be too worried about AMD's recently announced Instinct MI200-series HPC GPUs—you know, the ones with two GPU dies squished together on the same chip. Despite the potential performance and bandwidth out of the dual-wielding card, Nvidia's boss brushes away any claims it could be an 'Nvidia killer'.

In a discussion with Tim Prickett Morgan for Next Platform (via WCCFTech), Huang is asked what Nvidia's response will be to new competition from AMD, and, to a lesser extent, Intel in the compute arena.

Huang responds: "First of all, we have competition all the time. So it is not true that this is the first so-called Nvidia killer that has come out. 

So Huang isn't worried, but he wouldn't give away the game even if he was feeling the pressure from AMD's latest. 

AMD has a frightfully powerful package in the MI200-series, codename Aldebaran, whether these cards turn out to be Nvidia killers or not. The AMD Instinct MI250X offer 14,080 stream processors, up to 47.9 TFLOPS of FP64 performance, and 3.2 TB/s of memory bandwidth. 

I mean, this thing is tremendously large by both AMD and Nvidia's standards.
