AMD’s Instinct MI430X GPU will be the fastest FP64 chip, delivering up to 6x the performance of Rubin in classic HPC workloads.
AMD Delivers The Biggest Leap In FP64 Compute With MI430X, 6x Rubin Performance & Deployment In The Discovery System at ORNL By 2028
The AI segment continues to push up compute FLOPS in the exascale range through low-precision formats such as FP4, FP6, and FP8. These formats lead the AI spectrum, and while they are important for neural networks, higher-precision formats such as FP64 still hold a lot of value in High-Performance Computing workloads.
AMD has always been a leader in terms of FP64 FLOPs, and their next-generation MI430X has now been previewed, offering up to 200 TFLOPs of raw FP64 performance, the highest ever for any HPC GPU. This phenomenal improvement comes from AMD’s advanced CDNA architecture, which is made using high-tech process and packaging technologies and couples loads of HBM4 memory together.
The AMD Instinct MI430X GPUs will be part of the MI400 series, which spans multiple products. The line also includes the MI450X, which is AMD’s primary AI accelerator.
AMD also previewed the performance of its MI430X GPU, offering up to 6x the compute capability of its upcoming rival, NVIDIA Rubin. NVIDIA Rubin GPUs offer a peak of 33 TFLOPs of FP64 vector compute and up to 200 TFLOPs using Tensor-Core based emulation algorithms. Natively, that’s 200 TFLOPs for AMD’s MI430X and 33 TFLOPs…
