AMD launches Instinct MI300X and MI300A CDNA3 accelerators

https://videocardz.com/press-release/amd-launches-instinct-mi300x-and-mi300a-cdna3-accelerators

Certainly a lot of claims by AMD but once you read the finer details, you do see some interesting quirks. The jist of it stems from two key areas, one of which is that AMD did not use TensorRT LLM with H100 which means it's not performing to it's full potential and the other is that using their benchmarks, it largely sounds like it will be 20% faster than H100 until H100 hits a vram limitation at which point MI300X will be much faster. Keep in mind that H100s released back in March and H200s will be releasing Q2 next year.

It is interesting because despite MI300X having 30% higher theoretical compute performance, we aren't really seeing the results which shows that AMD has a long ways away to optimize their software stack in the data center. You can read more about it here:

With all that being said, I think AMD is still very much ahead of Intel in the Ai race which in itself is an achievement

ARM-Based Chips From Qualcomm & Apple To Give AMD & Intel Tough Time In AI PC Segment In 2024

While I think Intels Core Truth marketing is dumb and over the top, AMD certainly isn't helping their case

The Core Truth marketing is dumb because Intel, sans the 14700, just launched an entire lineup of rebadged processors. And their lower end CPUs like the 13100 last gen was refresh of the 12100. It's serious pot meet kettle situation. With them contradicting themselves throughout and basically just explaining to consumers how to read AMD's part numbers better than AMD.

I have the 1TB Steam Deck OLED now for two weeks and I especially love the battery life.

So many of my games run 6 - 8 hours with 45fps/90Hz or 40fps/80Hz.
Older games, some indies or 2D games can even reach 10 hours battery life.

The OLED screen of course is also great, especially in games with dark areas (f.e. the space sequences in "The Expanse").

HDR support is also nice, but most PC games don't support it yet. Here is an (uncomplete) list of over HDR-compatible PC games:
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_that_support_high_dynamic_range_display_(HDR)

The outer case now has some velcro to avoid the Steam Deck falling out if the zipper ain't closed:

But I usually leave the outer case at home and only use the inner case, whicch is a lot thinner and lighter:

Wait, you've had a Deck Oled for a couple weeks and hadn't told us until now? What else are you hiding, Conina?

Anyway, congratulations to you as well. Glad that you're enjoying it.

I'm torn about the Steam deck - I would love to buy it but game clock/log isnt counted if you are offline which is a bummer for me.

(I still play my Switch when I'm at work during break but wouldnt mind having the Steam deck lol)

Anyways, I also got new piece of hardware (Xbox Series X which was $350 on Amazon).Re-arranged my set up.

Gonna work on hiding the cables for my set up next.
