AMD Instinct MI300A data center APU underperforms against mainstream CPUs in Geekbench — MI300A submissions show lower performance than a Core i5-14600K

Instinct MI300A.

AMD's bleeding-edge Instinct MI300A data center APU has been tested in Geekbench 6.3.0. Discovered by BenchLeaks on X, the pair of MI33A APUs performed seemingly worse than a Core i5-14600K across three runs.

The APU showed up as "AMD Proto Sample: SH5-MI300A-A0," somewhat implying that it could be a prototype sample. According to the submissions, the MI300A was tested on a platform called "AMD Corporation Eviden2p," consisting of a dual-socket design. Therefore, the system had 48 cores and 96 threads, as each MI300A wields 24 Zen 4 execution cores. The MI300A operated at 3.7 GHz, the rated CPU peak clock speed for the data center APU.
