Micron Technology held its traditional event this week , which included some kind of "round table" with the participation of the CEO of Micron itself, as well as Cadence, Qualcomm and AMD. The head of the last of the companies, Lisa Su, took part in the discussion of the issues raised at the event and began by saying that the high-performance computing segment is now one of the main development priorities for AMD. In other words, the company is focused on promoting its processors in the server segment.
Along the way, AMD does not forget about the energy efficiency of products. Reducing energy consumption has a positive impact not only on the environment, but also on the costs of the end user. In the server segment, total cost of ownership is an important factor in choosing a platform, and everything is in order with this indicator for the new AMD EPYC processors, the head of the company believes.
When Lisa Su was asked which of the architectures she considers the most promising in the modern world, she replied that one cannot count on solving all problems with a single universal architecture. Different architectures have the right to life, and the task of specialized specialists is to ensure the efficiency of information exchange between heterogeneous components. In today's world, Lisa Su stressed, security must be at the heart of every architecture.
The increasing importance of artificial intelligence was also mentioned at the event. The head of AMD admitted that technologies of this class allow the company to create the best processors. Artificial intelligence systems help to optimize the design of processors, which significantly reduces the time for their development.
When it was the turn of the Micron event to answer questions from the audience, the executives invited to the stage felt it necessary to speak on the topic of research in the field of quantum computing. The head of Cadence demonstrated a clear understanding of the classification of quantum systems, the head of Qualcomm admitted that "these are not the speeds and flows" with which the processors created by his company work, and the CEO of Micron, as the host of the event, explained that it is important to keep abreast of technological progress, but the advent of commercial quantum computers is still very far away. Lisa Su did not answer this question at all, since the time limit for communicating with the audience was cut. Tomorrow, we recall, AMD will publish its quarterly report, and this will allow the head of the company to speak on many topics of interest to industry experts.
