The MI300A is an APU with 128gb on the package. They come in four socket systems, that's 512gb of cache coherent machine with 96 fast x64 cores and many GCN cores. Quite like a node from El Capitan.
I'm delighted with the hardware and not very impressed with the GPU offloading languages for programming it. The GCN and x64 cores are very much equal peers on the machine, the asymmetry baked into the languages grates on me.
(on non-apu systems, moving the data around in the background such that the latency is hidden is a nice idea and horrendously difficult to do for arbitrary workloads)
