8x AMD Instinct #MI355X (288GB @8TB/s) take back the lead over 8x Nvidia #B200 (180GB @8TB/s) in #FluidX3D #CFD, achieving 362k MLUPs/s (vs. 219k MLUPs/s). Thanks to Jon Stevens from Hot Aisle to run the benchmarks! 🖖😊

In single-GPU, both perform about the same, but in 8x #GPU config, MI355X is 65% faster. The difference comes from PCIe bandwidth - MI355X does 55GB/s, B200 only 14GB/s. #Nvidia leaves a lot of perf on the table by not exposing #NVLink P2P to #OpenCL.

#AMD's Instinct #MI355X accelerator will consume 1,400 watts. #CDNA4 challenges #BlackwellUltra.
AMD's #MI350X-series #GPU are based on #CDNA 4 architecture that introduces support for FP4 and FP6 precision formats alongside FP8 and FP16.
Both SKUs will come with 288GB HBM3E memory that will offer up to 8 TB/s of bandwidth, but MI350X will offer maximum FP4/FP6 performance of 18.45 PFLOPS, whereas the MI355X is said to push the maximum FP4/FP6 performance to 20.1 PFLOPS.
