AMD's situation in the market is unbeatable at the moment due to its commitment to modular processors. The latest success of the company has been to win the contract for "El Capitan" which will be based on AMD EPYC processors. Curiously, this system will not use the EPYC ROME processors, in this case it will use the EPYC GENOA processors, which we do not know which lithography it will use.
But it is that this system not only leaves out Intel, it also leaves out NVIDIA, since it will use Radeon graphics. So AMD takes a brutal contract that will earn them a brutal income. This system has a cost of 600 million dollars and will offer nothing more and nothing less than 2 Exaflops of power. This system will be 25% more powerful than Frontier, which offers 1.5 Exaflops and has been created for the US Department of Energy.

AMD will put CPU and GPU for "El Capitan"
At this time we do not know how many processors and graphics cards will be integrated into this system. The developers of this machine have not disclosed the final specifications, we assume, because the hardware is not commercially known. If you use EPYC GENOA processors, you may use NDA2 graphics, so to reveal data would be to say that AMD plans.
This system is apparently the most powerful of the Top 200 supercomputers existing today. We could be talking about more than 4 million Zen4 cores, which is silly.
The most powerful system in the world is Summit, which has 2.41 million Intel cores and offers 148.6 Petaflops. Sierra is the second most powerful system with 94.6 Petaflops located in the United States and in China there is the Sunway Taihulight with 93 Petaflops with more than 10 million Sunway processors, made in China.
Finally say that "El Capitan" will not be available until 2022.
