The power consumption of AMD and NVIDIA's next-generation graphics cards is said to soar to 500W or even 600W, but the performance improvement is also huge. The floating-point performance of Rx 7900 XT is said to be four times that of Rx 6900 XT. After calculation, the energy efficiency is still improved, which is also AMD's goal. Their 30x25 goal hopes to improve the energy efficiency of processors and graphics cards by 30 times by 2025.
In terms of energy efficiency, amd put forward a 25x20 target as early as 2014. By 2020, the energy efficiency (performance power consumption ratio) of APU processor will be increased by 25 times. In June 2020, amd announced that it had exceeded the target. The energy efficiency ratio of APU was 31.77 times that of 2014, far exceeding the original target of 25 times.
Last year, amd immediately put forward the goal of 30x25, hoping that by 2025, AMD's energy efficiency in high-performance computing will reach 30 times that of 2020
AMD's high-performance computing mainly includes two parts: processor and accelerated graphics card. The data center market corresponds to epyc and insict series, and the latest products are epyc 7003 series and insict 200 series.

Mark papermaster, chief technology officer of AMD CTO, reiterated the goal of 30x25 a few days ago, emphasizing that they are not only confident to achieve the improvement of 30x energy efficiency, but also have exceeded the current progress, the energy efficiency of the computing node driven by epyc 7003 processor and 4-way insict mi250x accelerator card is 6.79 times higher than the benchmark in 2020**
According to AMD, it is not easy to achieve the goal of 30x25, which is equivalent to reducing the unit power consumption of processors and graphics cards by 97%. to achieve this goal, amd needs to be more than 2.5 times faster than the overall improvement speed of the whole industry from 2015 to 2020.
Of course, if the goal of 30x25 is achieved, the effect will be amazing. Amd said that if all AI and HPC servers in the world have achieved 30 times energy efficiency improvement, then 51 billion kwh of electricity can be saved between 2021 and 2025, equivalent to US $6.2 billion, or the carbon benefit from the growth of 600 million trees for 10 years**
