AMD unveiled its new MI350X and MI355X GPUs for AI workloads here at its Advancing AI 2025 event in San Jose, California, claiming the new accelerators offer a 3X performance boost over the prior-gen MI300X, positioning the company to improve its competitive footing against its market-leading rival, Nvidia. AMD claims it beats Nvidia in like-for-like inference benchmarks by up to 1.3X and leads by up to 1.13X in select training workloads.
AMD also claims a 4X increase in "AI compute performance" compared to prior-generation AMD MI300X models and a 35X increase in inference performance, largely achieved by transitioning to the CDNA 4 architecture and utilizing a smaller, more advanced process node for the compute chiplets. AMD's production MI350 platforms began shipping last month.
