AMD CEO welcomes us to the "YottaScale era" - Lisa Su says AI will need YottaFLOPS of - jasongeek - 01-08-2026 AMD CEO welcomes us to the "YottaScale era" - Lisa Su says AI will need YottaFLOPS of compute power soon By Mike Moore published 2 days ago Lisa Su declares "AI is for everyone" at CES 2026 keynote The CEO of AMD has declared that the AI world is about to enter a whole new era which will require huge amounts of compute power. Speaking at her keynote at CES 2026, Dr. Lisa Su said the world is set to enter the 'YottaScale' era as demand for AI and the power behind it continues to grow. She predicted the world would need up to 10 YottaFLOPS (a one followed by 24 zeros) by the end of the decade - around 10,000 times the amount of global AI compute seen in 2022, which stood at about one zettaflop (a one followed by 21 zeros). A new era Admitting that there is currently not enough compute available for all the many things people want to do with AI, Su outlined AMD's future strategy to address this. "There's just never, ever been anything like this in the history of computing," she admitted. Primarily, this will involve a focus on integrated systems, bringing together CPUs, GPUs, networking, and software, which all work together to efficiently scale AI infrastructure. "AI is the most important technology of the last 50 years, and I can say it's absolutely our number one priority at AMD," Su said. "It's already touching every major industry, whether you're going to talk about health care or science or manufacturing or commerce, and we're just scratching the surface, AI is going to be everywhere over the next few years. And most importantly, AI is for everyone." Su unveiled a number of new AMD products on stage during her keynote, including the company's next generation of AI chips, including its MI455 GPU, EPYC Venice CPUs, and Helios AI-rack scale solutions, all of which promises huge leaps forward in terms of performance and efficiency. https://www.techradar.com/pro/amd-ceo-welcomes-us-to-the-yottascale-era-lisa-su-says-ai-will-need-yottaflops-of-compute-power-soon
