Big leaps in AI rarely come from one breakthrough. They emerge when hardware design, open software, and real workloads click into place. That’s the story we unpack with AMD’s Ramine Roane: how an open, developer-first approach combined with high-bandwidth memory, chiplet packaging, and a re-architected software stack is reshaping performance and cost from the edge to the largest data centers.

We walk through why memory capacity and bandwidth dominate large language model performance, and how MI300X’s 192 GB HBM and advanced packag...
