More embarrassing for Intel is that AMD’s Frontier consumes 22.70 MW of energy, a complete supercomputer for half the juice of the Aurora system.

Like Frontier, the current Top500 record holder, Aurora was built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. But it features processors from Intel Corp. rather than AMD.

AMD powers the ultra-fast Frontier supercomputer with its Instinct MI250X AI accelerators, achieving a huge 1 trillion parameter LLM run, which rivals ChatGPT-4.

Frontier also boasts 37,888 Instinct MI250X accelerators. So between the CPUs and GPUs, the supercomputer has access 8,730,112 cores, with a power efficiency rating of 52.23 gigaflops per watt.

The new number 1 supercomputer in the world, the AMD-powered and HPE-built Frontier, is celebrated today, Exascale Day, as the world’s first exascale (a billion billion calculations per second) HPC ...
