① SA Source

Context Before

In late 2027, AMD will release the MI500 UAL256 which will feature 256 physical/logical chips and not just 144 physical/logical chips like in VR300 NVL576

MI350X and MI355X Specs

Evidence

The MI350X is the 1,000W version that is air cooled while the MI355X is a 1,400W version that supports both air cooling and DLC liquid cooling.

Context After

The on-paper specs for the MI350X and the MI355X are both competitive to the HGX B200 for BF16/FP8/FP4 data types (dtypes). We expect that BF16 and FP8 will be used for training while FP8/FP6/FP4 will be used for inference. On the HGX B200, FP6 shares the same physical circuits as FP8, leading to the same FP8/FP6 on paper FLOP/s. On the MI355X, FP6 shares the same physical circuits as FP4, and so FP6 will have the same peak TFLOP/s speed as FP4. This means that MI355X FP6 is 2.2x faster than B200 FP6. In practice, MI355X FP6 will be at least 20% slower than MI355X FP4 due AI chips always being limited by power.

SemiAnalysis benchmarking has shown that even though the MI300X and the H100 each show the same on-paper TFLOP/s for FP16 as for BF16 (i.e. Nvidia’s FP16 TF = BF16 = 989 TFLOP/s, AMD’s FP16 = BF16 = 1307 TFLOP/s) in practice – each card delivers different realized TFLOPs when running FP16 vs BF16. We will be publishing an article in the near future running microbenchmarks to figure out a realistic TFLOP/s for MI355X FP6 versus FP4.
