Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) chief executive officer Lisa Su began her visit to China, where she touted the company’s role in supporting the development of artificial intelligence in the Asian country through the lens of interaction with leading players in the local corresponding industry, including DeepSeek and Alibaba Group Holding.
The chips, engineered by AMD, were compatible with DeepSeek’s machine intelligence models and a series of similar functional systems called Qwen elaborated by Alibaba. This allowed Chinese companies to develop their technologies faster. Lisa Su made a corresponding statement at the AMD conference for artificial intelligence personal computers in Beijing on Tuesday, March 18. She also stated that her company has seen consistent performance growth in DeepSeek’s machine intelligence models as a result of the team’s constant optimization.
Lisa Su, who was joined by representatives from Lenovo Group, Asus, and Microsoft, noted AMD’s commitment to working with the open–source community. In the relevant context, she also drew attention to the company’s efforts aimed at creating an open and developer-friendly ecosystem of artificial intelligence.
Currently, the semiconductor company, led by Lisa Su, is promoting its infrastructural support for low-cost and high-performance machine intelligence models from DeepSeek. It is worth noting that the breakthrough made by the mentioned developer of artificial intelligence has become something of a sensation in the AI industry. Silicon Valley and Wall Street have drawn attention to DeepSeek’s digital products. The company has demonstrated an example of how it is possible to develop an effective artificial intelligence model that can fully compete with other advanced functional systems of a similar category, at financial costs that are lower than the industry average and with lower computing power requirements than those provided for in general practice. The result demonstrated by DeepSeek clearly corresponds to such a concept as success. However, it is unknown whether such an approach will become a common practice in the industry and whether this method will be effective in the next stages of the evolution of artificial intelligence as an advanced technology of modernity.
AMD has published instructions for running Deepseek’s V3 and R1 open-source machine intelligence models locally on its Instinct graphics processing units.
The main competitor of the company headed by Lisa Su in the artificial intelligence chip market is Nvidia. Currently, Nvidia is the leader of this rivalry process.
It is worth mentioning that initially, against the background of the debut of highly efficient DeepSeek’s artificial intelligence models, concerns began to circulate about a potential drop in consumer demand for AI chips. At the same time, Chinese companies continued to stock up on processors to support the development of machine intelligence and cloud computing services. It is worth noting that technology firms from an Asian country, as reported by the media, have recently been striving to form significant stocks of the mentioned products. This activity is largely because the United States has already limited shipments of cutting-edge chips and equipment for the production of microcircuits in the corresponding category to China, and is highly likely to scale the appropriate practice.
As part of her visit to China, Lisa Su visited Lenovo’s Beijing headquarters, where the computer giant announced that its AMD-powered artificial intelligence large-model training server, the Wentian WA7785a G3, could achieve a throughput of 6708 tokens per second when deploying DeepSeek’s full-scale 71-billion-parameter model with a single server.
It is worth noting that during the period of active development of machine intelligence, the issue of cybersecurity has become more relevant. Scammers also have access to digital intelligence tools. To counter this threat in the virtual space, personal awareness of users is important. For example, an Internet search query such as how to know if my camera is hacked will allow anyone to get information about signs of unauthorized access to the device.
AMD’s revenue in mainland China and Hong Kong last year was recorded at the $6.2 billion mark. This figure represents 24% of the company’s total sales.
