The cutting-edge tech company Tiny Corp has made an unexpected choice about its TinyBox AI servers: it will have models with both AMD and Nvidia graphics. The goal of this move is to serve a bigger range of customers and start a price war in the market for AI servers.
The AI Servers in Tiny Box
Early this year, the TinyBox AI computers got a lot of attention when Tiny Corp said they would make PetaFLOPS-class speed for AI available to everyone. At first, the business was sure that AMD GPUs were the best choice. But recent events have led to a two-pronged method.
The AMD Solution: Tiny Corp’s original plan was for its TinyBox computers to use AMD GPUs. It was easy to see why: Radeon consumer-grade GPUs had better “full fabric” PCIe 4.0 x16 links and peer-to-peer interactions, which are necessary for big language models. Additionally, AMD GPUs were inexpensive and easy to find.
When Tiny Corp chose to look into Nvidia GPUs as well, the Nvidia Twist Things took a turn that no one saw coming. As a result? The “red” AMD version costs $15,000, while the “green” Nvidia version costs $25,000, which is a huge 67% price difference.
The Problems with Software
Tiny Corp had trouble getting the AMD TinyBox to work the way they wanted it to. The answer had a lot of problems with drivers, which was frustrating. Before deciding whether to switch to Nvidia or Intel GPUs, Tiny Corp got in touch with Dr. Lisa Su, CEO of AMD. The teamwork led to success, but the AMD TinyBox was put on hold.
The Battle Over Prices
Tiny Corp is starting a price war by making models for both AMD and Nvidia. The AMD option is much cheaper, but Nvidia’s high price tag shows that it has a strong market position. The competition to be the best AI service is getting tougher.
Amazon’s Fight Against Fake Products
Additionally, Amazon keeps up its fight against fakes. The Counterfeit Crimes Unit (CCU) works with brands to get rid of all fake goods in the supply chain. Amazon is committed to customer safety, as shown by its recent cases with brands like Cartier, GE Appliances, and WWE.
