Giga Computing expects a huge-scale deployment of Giga CPUs and GPUs in 2021. As the company forecasts, at this moment, the amount of silicon in the market is still far behind the "full-capacity" level, so they expect a very steep ramp in the demand for Giga Computing products in the next five years.
Increasing Data-Center CPU/GPU Power Density with Cutting-Edge Technologies
According to the story by Video Cardz, the company predicts deploying CPUs and GPUs will increase demand for supporting technologies such as Data/AI/ML, cloud services and infrastructure, and specialized industrial/enterprise services.
Giga Computing suggests three main strategies to reach that capacity: an increase in data-center CPU/GPU power density, new hardware designs (monolithic high-end SOCs, such as ARM servers and others), and energy-efficient cooling technologies.
The data-center market has evolved significantly over the past decade, as cloud and server capacity has become increasingly important in today's applications. High-end servers with cutting-edge technologies are especially important for businesses that need exceptional performance.
Companies like Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA have been working on architectures and product lines to cater to these needs, and the leaked Giga Computing roadmap provides users with a glimpse into the near and long-term future of the data-center market, with the leak revealed by HXL on Twitter.
AMD MI300 'exascale APU': Paving the Way for Next-Gen Efficiency in Data Centers
While Intel's and AMD's upcoming CPU architectures are already known, the companies will still unveil high-end GPU server solutions. However, the Giga Computing roadmap hints that NVIDIA's next-generation server GPUs will be capable of up to 500W, and the AMD CDNA4 architecture could be even more powerful than that.
Notably, the roadmap did not mention AMD MI300 'exascale APU', the next-gen AMD accelerator for data-centers announced by the company in January this year. It is possible that this processor could reach 1000W, according to Giga Computing's roadmap.
The MI300 'exascale APU' is expected to be a game-changer for the data-center market, as it will be the first chip to combine CPU cores and GPUs on a single package, making it more efficient than ever.

Giga Computing's Leaked Roadmap: What to Expect in the Next Five Years
In the long-term, Giga Computing's roadmap forecasts that chips could reach as high as 500-600W by 2025, as explained in another article by The FPS Review, and the PCIe-based GPU server solutions could reach up to 1000W. Companies that need the latest and most powerful server technologies will have plenty of options in the upcoming years.
It is still too early to predict which architectures and chips will become the industry standard, but Giga Computing's leaked roadmap gives users an idea of what to expect from the data-center market in the next five years.
Intel and AMD are expected to announce new architectures in the next 12-24 months, while NVIDIA and AMD's new server GPUs will almost certainly be released in the next five years. Ultimately, the data-center market will continue to evolve with cutting-edge technologies and powerful designs that will help businesses increase their efficiency and productivity.
