Almost 50tflops in double precision, that's crazy!

now i really hope ROCm finally gets better.... those cards sound wonderful for the AI software i develop.

ID: hhz3t1i

Agreed, though for OpenCL workloads, we might get that working properly via Mesa first.

I assume this isn't meant for gaming

ID: hhuuxsv

Correct

ID: hhvej7d

I assume LTT is trying to game on it anyways

ID: hhuvuhz

If you don't mind me asking, what is it meant for?

ID: hhvnyd9

But could it be forced to run games

ID: hhvpvwo

Not with that attitude

ID: hhwqwtt

Can it run Crysis?

ID: hhws3ml

Yeah it can /s

220 CUs would fit the performance figures perfectly. (Assuming that performance in FP64 is half the figure mentioned.)

(220 CUs make a lot more sense considering that the MI100 has 120 CUs.)

ID: hhwhk1m

Not to mention the power figure of 500W. You can't get to 500W at 1.7GHz with just 110 CU's.

ID: hhyqvqh

Just goes to show how much improvement AMD's made to their physical design through these 3 uArchs on 7nm. Vega 20's double precision output was 7.373TFLOPs at 300W. MI250X is just under 7x that at 2/3rds extra power.

ID: hhwvssa

This CDNA2.0 This is the first from the ground design server chip. CDNA1 was a CGN5.0 evolution. You don't know the configuration of a CU. So that means A CDNA 2 CU could be way more powerful then a CDNA 1 CU.

ID: hhylhkn

From the other figures, the only other way would be for one CDNA 2 CU to be exactly twice as powerful as one CDNA 1 CU. This would seem somewhat strange. It would also imply 55 CUs per chiplet, which again is a strange number.

It's not completely out of the question that AMD changed what a CU means, but I lean towards mistrusting the rumour.

Cool beans

ID: hhv4i2w

500W. Burned beans.

ID: hhv67bq

Just need more beans then.

AKA coffee?

I wonder if CDNA2 is still based on GCN, like CDNA is.

ID: hhuu79h

It is.

ID: hhw3jjs

Source?

ID: hhxwh88

Why are they still using GCN? That's weird.

ID: hhw99uc

I wonder if CDNA2 is still based on GCN, like CDNA is.

CDNA 2 is based on CDNA 1, which is based on GCN 5, which...

Will it msrp?

What’s the eth hash rate lol

ID: hhvdxb4

Napkin math:

128GB HBM2e - divides into eight 16GB stacks. JEDEC standard for HBM2e is 307GB/s/stack, Samsung HBM2e is 410GB/s/stack, SKHynix HBM2e is 460GB/s/stack. So memory bandwidth (the limiting factor, generally, in Ethereum mining) is somewhere between 2456GB/s and 3680GB/s.

307GB/s/stack * 8 stacks = 2456GB/s
460GB/s/stack * 8 stacks = 3680GB/s

Let's use a Radeon VII as the other reference point - it's a GCN based chip (as these likely are) with HBM and has 1024GB/s memory bandwidth, with a TDP of 295W. It's also a fairly popular mining card still, and clocks in at around 93MH/s at 200W according to whattomine.

For JEDEC standard HBM2e

2456 GB/s / 1024 GB/s = X MH/s / 93 MH/s # GB/s cancel each other out, multiply through by 93 MH/s 2456 * 93 MH/s / 1024 = X MH/s 223 MH/s = X MH/s

For Samsung HBM2e

3280 GB/s / 1024 GB/s = X MH/s / 93 MH/s # GB/s cancel each other out, multiply through by 93 MH/s 3280 * 93 MH/s / 1024 = X MH/s 297 MH/s = X MH/s

For SKHynix HBM2e

3680 GB/s / 1024 GB/s = X MH/s / 93 MH/s # GB/s cancel each other out, multiply through by 93 MH/s 3680 * 93 MH/s / 1024 = X MH/s 334 MH/s = X MH/s Power. Radeon VII is 295W but mines at around 200W. Assuming the same scaling: 500W TDP -> 338W. Let's just say 350W to be more conservative.

TL;DR: Somewhere between 223MH/s and 334MH/s at around 350W, easily making it one of the most efficient mining cards out there. According to whattomine that's about $16 - $24 in pre-tax profit per day.

ID: hhvkvik

Would only take two years to break even at that rate...

ID: hhus3mm

Doesn't matter, MSRP will be $2000 and you won't be able to find it under $5000. /s

EDIT: Clearly I wasn't trying to name actual prices, I just picked a number out of my ass that sounded expensive and then multiplied it. Get over it.

ID: hhuuik5

Lol. This is Instinct MI. It's MSRP will be closer to $10 000

ID: hhv4zx3

You'll be lucky to get it under 10k lol

ID: hhuu2f2

It would be a steal for both of these prices

10 : Anonymous2021/10/24 11:49 ID: hhuo3nt

I wonder how much fps would it get in Crysis at 15360x8640 resolution.

ID: hhv51pm

Literally 0

ID: hhv728v

It has no video out

ID: hhv35ut

Nine

ID: hhvdefi

Theoretically something even with the lack of video out. There's a setting in Windows you can turn on if you have a CPU with integrated graphics that lets you use the integrated for light tasks like browsing and the gpu for heavy tasks like gaming

With that kind of TDP it’s definitely going to hog at least 4-5 expansion slots

ID: hhv65dn

Probably water-cooled in server racks would be my guess that's a lot of heat to remove from the area.

ID: hhvq14p

Nah, either water cooled or just LOTS of airflow from some good ol deltas

ID: hhvq6w9

If it’s using deltas, I figure will need a massive heatsink. I’m just going off the trend I’ve noticed with GPU heatsinks getting larger every couple of years

ID: hhwrkm0

It doesn't use a standard PCIe card. It's based around the OCP Acceleration Module.

12 : Anonymous2021/10/24 19:35 ID: hhwdh3b

I'd buy it

13 : Anonymous2021/10/24 21:44 ID: hhwvzqp

what would somthing like this be used for, is this amds version of quadro from nvidia

ID: hhy6tep

An equivalent to Nvidia’s Tesla line.

14 : Anonymous2021/10/24 23:09 ID: hhx71eh

I wonder what AMD's doing about their Solution Stack for Reinforcement Learning. No use releasing a powerful GPU without an accompanying software for writing codes.

15 : Anonymous2021/10/25 04:50 ID: hhy986y

Why does it have the same numbers for single precision and double precision? Isn't single usually faster than double?

17 : Anonymous2021/10/25 14:54 ID: hhzpj44

Missing something key here... why are their instinct line so incredibly expensive compared to Nvidia?

Wouldn't it make sense to push the product at a loss to increase adoption amongst data scientists and ML/AI engineers?

I badly want an MI50 but gd... for that price I could get two PNY Nvidia A16s...

18 : Anonymous2021/10/24 16:27 ID: hhvlcty

MI? Weird that it has the same brand as some of the most untrusted Chinese smartphones. Does AMD explain this?

19 : Anonymous2021/10/24 17:04 ID: hhvqrg2

I'm not sure why you think Aircraft Manufacturing and Design would have anything to say about this. /s

20 : Anonymous2021/10/24 17:45 ID: hhvwwm0

Since they have nothing to do with that company, I would assume, no, AMD does not have an explanation for this.

You’re a moron
