Von Neumann memory bandwidth bottleneck questioned for LLM inference
Key claims
- LLM inference is limited by GPU memory bandwidth, so building it on von Neumann architecture with split memory and compute is a major roadblock for this use case.
- AMD plans to sell GPUs with LLM models flashed as ROM via Taalas acquisition.
