GPU comparison

B300 vs MI210.

The B300 is ahead on memory (288 GB vs 64 GB) and speed (12.4x the FP16 throughput and up to 4.9x the memory bandwidth). The MI210 makes sense when your model fits in 64 GB and its hourly price is lower.

Which is better for

Which to pick for each job. Memory fit and throughput, from the datasheets.

  • Hold a 70B model in 8-bit weights

    70 GB of 8-bit weights

    B300: 1 GPU, 218 GB spare

    MI210: 2 GPUs (128 GB)

    B300. Fits on one GPU.

  • Serve an 8B model in 16-bit weights

    16 GB of 16-bit weights

    B300: 1 GPU, 272 GB spare

    MI210: 1 GPU, 48 GB spare

    B300. Same GPU count, up to 4.9x the memory bandwidth.

  • Fine-tune a 70B model with QLoRA

    About 46 GB with 4-bit weights

    B300: 1 GPU, 242 GB spare

    MI210: 1 GPU, 18 GB spare

    B300. Same GPU count, 12.4x the FP16 throughput.

  • Train on a full node

    FP16 tensor throughput per node

    B300: 8x, 18,000 TFLOPS, NVLink

    MI210: 4x, 724 TFLOPS

    B300. 8 GPUs per node, not 4.

  • Throughput per watt

    FP16 TFLOPS per 100 W of TDP

    B300: Varies by card

    MI210: 60 TFLOPS per 100 W

    Either. Varies by card.
