AMD Expands Work With Google to Power Host Infrastructure for Cloud TPU

By Kelly Cloonan

 

Advanced Micro Devices says its processors are powering the host infrastructure for one of Google's cloud tensor processing unit systems under an expanded collaboration between the two companies.

AMD said Monday its fifth-generation Epyc processors manage workload orchestration, data preparation and high-throughput communication in Google's TPU 8tx systems.

The processors aim to provide both the performance and data protection that organizations need to scale sensitive AI workloads in the cloud, the company said.

The announcement comes after AMD was upgraded by Oppenheimer analysts on Sunday. The chipmaker is also getting a boost amid reports of a romantic relationship between Jensen Huang, the chief executive of its rival Nvidia, with a suspected Chinese spy.

Shares of AMD gained 9.3% to $490.95.
