#MI300X is a GPU-only version of previously announced #MI300A supercomputing chip, which includes a #CPU and #GPU. The MI300A will be in El Capitan, a supercomputer coming next year to the #LosAlamos #NationalLaboratory. El Capitan is expected to surpass 2 exaflops of performance. The MI300X has 192GB of #HBM3, which Su said was 2.4 times more memory density than Nvidia’s H100. The SXM and PCIe versions of H100 have 80GB of HBM3.

I’m a #Scientist Who Spoke Up About #ClimateChange. My Employer #Fired Me.
Shortly after the New Year, I was #fired from #OakRidge #NationalLaboratory after urging fellow #scientists to take action on #climatechange
I used to be a well-behaved scientist. I stood quietly on #meltingpermafrost in Utqiagvik, Alaska, and measured how much #greenhousegas was released into the atmosphere.
