"We're absolutely committed to open [ecosystems], even open to work with customers or others who directly compete with us in the end. It's to everyone's benefit, including ourselves," AMD EVP of data centers Forrest Norrod told The Register in an interview this month.
"If everyone has their own little ecosystem — number one, it's very inefficient, and number two, that limits our ability to compete."
In recent years, both AMD and Intel have worked to bring more competitive accelerators to market in their bid to gain share from Nvidia. At Computex, AMD revealed its next-generation accelerator – a bandwidth-enhanced version of the MI300X that will pack 288GB of HBM3e memory when it arrives in Q4 2024.
