AMD MI400 series is already shipping to customers (basically everybody) and it is crazy fast (8x to 10x faster than the previous gen and beats published Vera numbers in FP8, loses in FP4) and 432 GB per chip. 72 chip unified rack architecture (Helios) already shipping and projected to also beat Vera in NVL72.

MI500 series is supposedly already taping out and they're claiming massive increases (we'll find out end of 2027 prob).

Absolutely true although at some point it's not just raw numbers but also the kernels that run matmuls and there seems (from outsider perspective) to have been more optimization in the cuda kernels
