AMD has released its 2023-24 Corporate Responsibility Report, showcasing the company’s progress in environmental sustainability, digital impact, diversity, inclusion, and supply chain responsibility. In 2023, AMD delivered annual revenue of $22.7 billion, driven by strong demand for its data center and embedded products. The company also made strides in meeting its environmental sustainability goals, reducing greenhouse gas emissions from operations by 24.5% compared to its 2020 baseline.
AMD remains on track to achieve a 30x increase in energy efficiency from 2020 to 2025 for AI training and high-performance computing applications. AMD’s chiplet architecture has played a significant role in addressing sustainability challenges. The production of the 4th Gen AMD EPYC with separate compute chiplets instead of a singular monolithic die prevented approximately 132,000 metric tons of CO2e, nearly triple the company’s annual operational carbon emissions and almost five times its water usage in a year.
Additionally, AMD’s latest 4th Gen EPYC servers are revolutionizing data centers by replacing outdated servers, reducing rack space by 70% and energy use by 65%. The company’s commitment to education and research has also had a profound impact. Since 2020, AMD has equipped over 150 universities, research bodies, and non-profits with its technology, reaching around 61 million people.
In 2023, AMD supported various initiatives across AI and machine learning research, as well as educational programs in HPC and AI.
