A post claims that MI500 will bring optical interconnects and beat Nvidia Rubin Ultra in several key areas, including HBM, a 4-die package, and scale-up domain design.
The claim is framed as a major hardware milestone if it proves true, because it would imply a meaningful lead in next-gen AI system interconnect and packaging architecture.
