MI350P PCIe cards support the spectrum of precision levels that enterprise AI models rely on most,” Suresh Andani, AMD’s corporate VP for compute and enterprise AI, wrote in a blog post
Summary
The Instinct MI350Ps are dual-slot drop-in cards for standard air-cooled servers, with users able to slot the hardware into their existing stack. Available in air-cooled systems with up to eight accelerator cards, the chip giant claims its cards can support some of the highest performance loads for an enterprise PCIe card, with up to 4,600 peak teraflops at micro-scaling four-bit floating point (MXFP4). AMD touts the device as yet another extension of its already stacked AI-centric product lineup, claiming the performance increases from the MI350P make it “ideal for small, medium, and large AI models for inference and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.” “MI350P PCIe cards support the spectrum of precision levels that enterprise AI models rely on most,” Suresh Andani, AMD’s corporate VP for compute and enterprise AI, wrote in a blog post.
