During this year’s ITF World, the CEO of amd Lisa Su has indicated that the next products that will arrive in the coming years from the company will present great improvements in energy management, offering a better efficiency energy which will be 100 times higher than the current one. In this way, we can see AMD’s commitment to offering innovative technologies, which is more than enough reason for them to have won the imec Innovation award.
One of the big problems that currently exist is the energy use that practically all products related to information technology have, whether processors, graphics or other components, the energy use they require can be extremely high. That is why many companies have begun to try to develop their technologies with this problem in mind, offering solutions to the problems that excessive consumption can cause.
A change that will come thanks to artificial intelligence
Although it may seem like a joke, one of the main reasons why companies like amd have begun to see the consumption energetic As a problem for their products, it is not because of the temperatures that their products can reach, since in recent years they have focused on adding more cores at higher speeds without taking into account the consumption and heat that they can generate.
And it seems that they have really realized the problem now that generative artificial intelligences are being used for practically everything, and that is that this type of technology consumes a lot of energy due to the fact that it needs a lot of power to work.
In this case, it is when from amd They have realized that it is not a sustainable model, since the use of AI In this way, it could lead to a fairly large energy crisis, and several experts have indicated that within a few years, the use of artificial intelligence could represent 30% of the energy consumption of the United States.
This is quite worrying, but according to AMD, the measures are already underway, and for the products they are going to launch in 2025 they aim to multiply the energy efficiency of the computing nodes by 30, but they have also indicated that now , see a path to a more than 100-fold improvement by 2026 or 2027.
The changes would improve the efficiency of all AMD products
Although the improvements at the energy level are really proposed for products that use artificial intelligence, as we can well expect, these types of improvements could also be applied to those components that do not have this specific use. In this way, we can expect that the improvements will not only be made at the enterprise level for all the products that AMD exports to data centers and others with the aim of being used for tasks related to AI, but that they could be applied at a general level. .
This would obviously imply one more step for AMD to position itself as the leading company in the domestic processor sector, since they currently have some of the most powerful on the market, but they have the same problem as their competitor, consumption and temperature are excessively high. That is why if we see these changes implemented by the company that created the Ryzen, but Intel continues to create processors with higher performance with exorbitant consumption and temperatures, we could put an end to the debate of which of the two companies truly dominates the market.
