GPU with 128GB of memory. Radeon Instinct MI200 will be very different from anything on the market

There is almost no doubt that the AMD Radeon Instinct MI200 accelerator will be based on a dual-crystal GPU. This is indicated by both early rumors and all the latest data from Linux patches.

The new patch confirms this, while also indicating that the adapter will receive a monstrous memory subsystem, including 128 GB of memory! But just a few days ago, the 80 GB capacity of the Nvidia A100 accelerator seemed incredible.

True, here it is worth talking more about two sets of 64 GB for each crystal, and it is not yet clear whether one crystal will be able to access the memory of the other. It is also worth noting that 128 GB is the volume calculated by the source based on the specified data on the number of channels and memory stacks.

The memory itself is a HBM2 chip. If AMD uses the latest version for the card, the memory bandwidth will be an incredible 3.6 TB / s.

Recall, the Radeon Instinct MI200 should be released later this year.
