But, in reality, CPUs are still responsible for the vast majority of today\u2019s most cutting-edge scientific, engineering, and research workloads. Evan Burness, who leads Microsoft Azure\u2019s HPC and AI product teams, estimates that CPUs still support 80% to 90% of HPC simulation jobs today.<\/p>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.technologyreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MITTR_MS_AMD_ebrief_sept2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/MITTR2024_V1_microamdSocials3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1124526\"\/><\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>In 2025, not only are these systems far from obsolete, they are experiencing a technological renaissance.
