The US government has reportedly made another major deal with a leading tech company, this time with AMD. The US Department of Energy and AMD have agreed to a $1 billion contract that will see AMD build two advanced supercomputers for the federal department over the next few years.
According to a report by Reuters, which cited a statement from AMD and CEO Dr. Lisa Su, the first of the two supercomputers is expected to be ready by 2029. This powerful machine will support a variety of critical government projects, including the management of the US nuclear arsenal and advancing medical research, particularly in the field of cancer.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright emphasized that the partnership with AMD will accelerate US technological growth once the supercomputers are completed and put into operation. This collaboration highlights the government’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to address national security and scientific challenges.
