The US government has reportedly entered into another major deal with a leading tech company, this time partnering 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 reports from Reuters, the information comes from a statement by AMD and its CEO, Dr. Lisa Su. Both Dr. Su and Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirmed that the first of the two supercomputers is expected to be ready by 2029.
These cutting-edge machines will play a crucial role in supporting the US government across various critical areas. Among their applications are the management of the US nuclear arsenal and advancing medical research, particularly in finding breakthroughs related to cancer.
Energy Secretary Wright emphasized that this partnership with AMD will accelerate technological growth in the United States once the supercomputers are fully operational, marking a significant step forward in the nation’s tech capabilities.
