Mi210 and Mi250 AI Performance Benchmark

Hi there,
Looking at running Mixtral 8x7B and wondering if its worth it to go with Mi210 or Mi250 vs RTX A100 or L40S. I wonder what the performance would be and if anyone has a setup running with something similar that could provide insight.

Thanks in advance!

The l40s is big bang for buck rn. It uses way more power however.

I was looking at it from a VRAM perspective too when the Mi210 has 64GB and the L40S has 48GB. So I would need 4x cards to have the same vram as 3x cards.

This is true. If your stuff is well supported in amds ecosystem, it will be great

I’m not honestly sure. This is for a client of mine who is commissioning me to build rigs to run Mixtral 8x7B models for genAi.
After seeing a recent post

I’m wondering where I can even get a Mi250X card to put into a server. None of my contacts seem to have them. They are only in pre built systems that are typically over $100k right now.

Mixtral -8x22B being released a few days ago and the last few models DRBX, grok, command-R are quite big.
so you may want teirs rather than a one size fits all server for this stuff.

What do you mean by tiers? I have a client who wants to run models and they are asking to build servers for them.
I was looking at Nvidia options but when I stumbled upon the AMD stuff I wondered what performance was available and where the GPUs/Accelerators themselves could be found.

Is it just that the Mi250x doesn’t really exist yet outside of special Partner servers?

Doesn’t seem like a good way to penetrate the market…
