Wait... this headline totally wrong.

This is the actual source[1]:

> The AMD Instinct M1300A APU was launched in January 2023 and blends a total of 13 chiplets, of which many are 3D stacked, creating a single chip package with 24 Zen 4 CPU cores fused with a CDNA 3 graphics engine and eight stacks of HBM3 memory totaling 128GB.

Its literally a typo (or renamed SKU?) for the MI300A. So... the street is jumping on AMD because of a typo echoed by a ton of outlets?

It is a typo but in a different way. They are referring to the MI300X (mentioned again later).

The discussion on the MI300X was on HN like 12 hours ago (after the AMD announcement event yesterday):

That's technically not new either?

Are they just talking about MI300X availability?

It very much is though. the MI300X may have been known about prior to the event but specs and performance were all under embargo until December 6.
