Neural Magic, AI leader in sparse inferencing technology, today announced a 6X improvement over their groundbreaking results from their last round submission with open engineering consortium, MLCommons®. Neural Magic’s latest results in MLPerf™ Inference v3.0, validate that customers can achieve high-performance AI using just x86 CPU architectures.
“We are so excited about our latest performance results, validated by MLPerf™ Inference v3.0,” said Brian Stevens, Chief Executive Officer, Neural Magic. “By applying our specialized compound sparsity algorithms with our patented DeepSparse inference runtime, we were able to achieve a boost in CPU performance by 1,000X while reducing power consumption by 92% over other inference solutions. The numbers prove users can have GPU speeds to support AI projects with just software and off-the-shelf processors.”
This year, Neural Magic used 4th Gen AMD EPYC™ processors for their benchmark testing. Neural Magic’s software stack takes advantage of continued innovations in AMD EPYC processors, such as AVX-512 and VNNI instructions as well as advanced features like highly performant DDR5 memory and a core count up to 96 cores, to unlock new possibilities for delivering better than GPU speeds on x86 CPUs.
