AMD confirms initial shipment of Instinct MI200 “Aldebaran” accelerator, its first MCM GPU

AMD said this week that it had started initial shipments of its next-generation Instinct compute GPUs based on the CDNA 2 architecture. These aren't the sort of GPU you'd find in the best graphics cards. Instead, the new Instinct MI200 compute accelerator carries 128GB of HBM2e memory and is designed for supercomputers and other high-performance computing applications, such as AI or ML. AMD's Instinct MI200 'Aldebaran' compute GPU will power the world's first exascale-class Frontier supercomputer, due to be delivered in late 2021 (as well as some smaller machines), so it's about time for AMD to start production of the accelerator. AMD has not yet disclosed any architectural peculiarities about CDNA 2, so the only two things we know about the Instinct MI200 for sure is that it features two dies connected with each other using AMD's Infinity Fabric, and it carries 128GB of HBM2e memory that connects to the dies using two 4096-bit interfaces.
