AMD is gearing up for a major technology showcase at its ‘Advancing AI 2024’ event on October 10th, promising the unveiling of the new EPYC ‘Turin’ CPU, Instinct MI325X AI accelerator, and Ryzen AI 300 PRO series CPUs. This event follows AMD’s recent Zen 5 reveal and underscores the company’s commitment to innovation in the AI and high-performance computing space.
A newly discovered vulnerability, dubbed ‘Sinkclose’, affects millions of AMD Ryzen and EPYC processors. While AMD has released firmware updates for some CPUs, older models, including Ryzen 1000, 2000, and 3000 Series, along with Threadripper 1000 and 2000 Series, remain vulnerable. The vulnerability could allow attackers to run malicious code undetected, making it a serious security concern for affected users.
AMD’s upcoming EPYC 9755 ‘Turin’ CPU, powered by Zen 5 architecture, has been leaked. It boasts an impressive 128 cores and 256 threads, coupled with a massive 650MB cache. This powerhouse processor is expected to launch later this year, potentially revolutionizing server performance.
