AMD High-Performance Gaming Updates

AMD unvei­led RDNA, the next foun­da­tio­nal gam­ing archi­tec­tu­re that was desi­gned to dri­ve the future of PC gam­ing, con­so­le, and cloud for years to come. With a new com­pu­te unit10 design, RDNA is expec­ted to deli­ver incre­di­ble per­for­mance, power and memo­ry effi­ci­en­cy in a smal­ler packa­ge com­pared to the pre­vious gene­ra­ti­on Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re. It is pro­jec­ted to pro­vi­de up to 1.25X hig­her per­for­mance-per-clock11 and up to 1.5X hig­her per­for­mance-per-watt over GCN12, enab­ling bet­ter gam­ing per­for­mance at lower power and redu­ced latency.

RDNA will power the upco­ming 7nm AMD Rade­on RX 5700-series gra­phics cards which fea­ture high-speed GDDR6 memo­ry and sup­port for the PCIe 4.0 interface.

During the key­note, Dr. Su show­ca­sed the power of RDNA and one of the new AMD Rade­on RX 5700-series gra­phics cards in a head-to-head com­pa­ri­son with a RTX 2070 card run­ning a Stran­ge Bri­ga­de game­play demo, bea­ting the com­pe­ti­ti­on deli­ve­ring incre­di­ble ~100 FPS gam­ing.13

AMD Rade­on RX 5700-series gra­phics cards are expec­ted to be available in July 2019. Learn more at the AMD E3 live­stream event on June 10, 2019 at 3 pm PT.

AMD Datacenter Updates

The AMD dat­a­cen­ter busi­ness con­ti­nues to gain trac­tion with cus­to­mers, win­ning in appli­ca­ti­on workloads from the big­gest cloud envi­ron­ments to exas­ca­le super­com­pu­ting, and capi­ta­li­zing on the mas­si­ve mar­ket oppor­tu­ni­ty for both AMD EPYC and AMD Rade­on Instinct™ processors.

During the key­note, Dr. Su con­tin­ued the anti­ci­pa­ti­on around the next-gene­ra­ti­on AMD EPYC pro­ces­sors with the first public com­pe­ti­ti­ve demons­tra­ti­on of a 2nd Gen AMD EPYC ser­ver plat­form. The demons­tra­ti­on show­ed a 2P 2nd Gen AMD EPYC based ser­ver vs. a 2P Intel Xeon®8280-based ser­ver run­ning a NAMD Apo1 v2.12 bench­mark test. The pre­pro­duc­tion 2nd Gen AMD EPYC pro­ces­sor powered ser­ver out­per­for­med the Intel Xeon powered ser­vers by more than 2x on the NAMD bench­mark.14

Final­ly, Micro­soft Azu­re announ­ced the achie­ve­ment of pre­vious­ly unob­tainable levels of per­for­mance for com­pu­ta­tio­nal flu­id dyna­mics (CFD) using an Azu­re HB cloud ins­tance run­ning on an 1st Gen AMD EPYC-pro­ces­sor based sys­tem. Lever­aging the excep­tio­nal memo­ry band­width of AMD EPYC, Azu­re HB sca­led Sie­mens Star ‑CCM+ appli­ca­ti­on across over 11,500 cores using a Le Mans 100 Mil­li­on Cell simu­la­ti­on, well bey­ond the never befo­re achie­ved 10,000 cores goal. “HB-series VMs on Azu­re are a game chan­ger for HPC in the cloud. For the first time, HPC cus­to­mers can sca­le their MPI workloads to tens of thou­sands of cores with the agi­li­ty of the cloud and per­for­mance and eco­no­mics that rival on-pre­mi­se clus­ter,” said Nav­neet Jone­ja, head of pro­duct for Azu­re Vir­tu­al Machi­nes, Micro­soft Corp. “We look for­ward to this new Azu­re offe­ring doing gre­at things for HPC-dri­ven inno­va­ti­on and productivity.”

The 2nd Gen AMD EPYC ser­ver pro­ces­sor fami­ly is pro­jec­ted to deli­ver up to 2X the per­for­mance-per socket15 and up to 4X the floa­ting per­for­mance-per-socket16 over the pre­vious generation.

The 2nd Gen AMD EPYC ser­ver pro­ces­sor fami­ly is expec­ted to launch in Q3 2019.

Mate­ri­al fac­tors that could cau­se actu­al results to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from cur­rent expec­ta­ti­ons include, wit­hout limi­ta­ti­on, the fol­lo­wing: Intel Corporation’s domi­nan­ce of the micro­pro­ces­sor mar­ket and its aggres­si­ve busi­ness prac­ti­ces may limit AMD’s abili­ty to com­pe­te effec­tively; AMD has a wafer sup­p­ly agree­ment with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with obli­ga­ti­ons to purcha­se all of its micro­pro­ces­sor and APU pro­duct requi­re­ments, and a cer­tain por­ti­on of its GPU pro­duct requi­re­ments, manu­fac­tu­red at pro­cess nodes lar­ger than 7 nano­me­ter from GF with limi­t­ed excep­ti­ons. If GF is not able to satis­fy AMD’s manu­fac­tu­ring requi­re­ments, AMD’s busi­ness could be adver­se­ly impac­ted; AMD reli­es on third par­ties to manu­fac­tu­re its pro­ducts, and if they are unable to do so on a time­ly basis in suf­fi­ci­ent quan­ti­ties and using com­pe­ti­ti­ve tech­no­lo­gies, AMD’s busi­ness could be mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affec­ted; fail­ure to achie­ve expec­ted manu­fac­tu­ring yields for AMD’s pro­ducts could nega­tively impact its finan­cial results; the suc­cess of AMD’s busi­ness is depen­dent upon its abili­ty to intro­du­ce pro­ducts on a time­ly basis with fea­tures and per­for­mance levels that pro­vi­de value to its cus­to­mers while sup­port­ing and coin­ci­ding with signi­fi­cant indus­try tran­si­ti­ons; if AMD can­not gene­ra­te suf­fi­ci­ent reve­nue and ope­ra­ting cash flow or obtain exter­nal finan­cing, it may face a cash short­fall and be unable to make all of its plan­ned invest­ments in rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment or other stra­te­gic invest­ments; the loss of a signi­fi­cant cus­to­mer may have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on AMD; AMD’s receipt of reve­nue from its semi-cus­tom SoC pro­ducts is depen­dent upon its tech­no­lo­gy being desi­gned into third-par­ty pro­ducts and the suc­cess of tho­se pro­ducts; glo­bal eco­no­mic and mar­ket uncer­tain­ty may adver­se­ly impact AMD’s busi­ness and ope­ra­ting results; AMD’s pro­ducts may be sub­ject to secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties that could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on AMD; IT outa­ges, data loss, data brea­ches and cyber-attacks could com­pro­mi­se AMD’s intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty or other sen­si­ti­ve infor­ma­ti­on, be cos­t­ly to reme­dia­te and cau­se signi­fi­cant dama­ge to its busi­ness, repu­ta­ti­on and ope­ra­ti­ons; AMD’s ope­ra­ting results are sub­ject to quar­ter­ly and sea­so­nal sales pat­terns; AMD may not be able to gene­ra­te suf­fi­ci­ent cash to ser­vice its debt obli­ga­ti­ons or meet its working capi­tal requi­re­ments; AMD has a lar­ge amount of indeb­ted­ness which could adver­se­ly affect its finan­cial posi­ti­on and pre­vent it from imple­men­ting its stra­tegy or ful­fil­ling its con­trac­tu­al obli­ga­ti­ons; the agree­ments gover­ning AMD’s notes and the Secu­red Revol­ving Line of Cre­dit impo­se rest­ric­tions on AMD that may adver­se­ly affect AMD’s abili­ty to ope­ra­te its busi­ness; the mar­kets in which AMD’s pro­ducts are sold are high­ly com­pe­ti­ti­ve; AMD’s world­wi­de ope­ra­ti­ons are sub­ject to poli­ti­cal, legal and eco­no­mic risks and natu­ral dis­as­ters, which could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on it; the con­ver­si­on of the 2.125% Con­ver­ti­ble Seni­or Notes due 2026 may dilute the owner­ship inte­rest of AMD’s exis­ting stock­hol­ders, or may other­wi­se depress the pri­ce of its com­mon stock; uncer­tain­ties invol­ving the orde­ring and ship­ment of AMD’s pro­ducts could mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affect it; the demand for AMD’s pro­ducts depends in part on the mar­ket con­di­ti­ons in the indus­tries into which they are sold. Fluc­tua­tions in demand for AMD’s pro­ducts or a mar­ket decli­ne in any of the­se indus­tries could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on its results of ope­ra­ti­ons; AMD’s abili­ty to design and intro­du­ce new pro­ducts in a time­ly man­ner is depen­dent upon third-par­ty intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty; AMD depends on third-par­ty com­pa­nies for the design, manu­fac­tu­re and sup­p­ly of mother­boards, soft­ware and other com­pu­ter plat­form com­pon­ents to sup­port its busi­ness; if AMD loses Micro­soft Corporation’s sup­port for its pro­ducts or other soft­ware ven­dors do not design and deve­lop soft­ware to run on AMD’s pro­ducts, its abili­ty to sell its pro­ducts could be mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affec­ted; and AMD’s reli­ance on third-par­ty dis­tri­bu­tors and add-in-board part­ners sub­jects it to cer­tain risks.  Inves­tors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncer­tain­ties in AMD’s Secu­ri­ties and Exch­an­ge Com­mis­si­on filings, inclu­ding but not limi­t­ed to AMD’s Quar­ter­ly Report on Form 10‑Q for the quar­ter ended March 30, 2019.
