AI workloads are evolving fast, and AMD’s clearly ready to keep up. With the launch of the Instinct MI350 Series, they’re pushing performance to a whole new level, boasting up to 4x the AI compute power and 35x better inference compared to the previous gen.

Powered by CDNA 4, the MI350X and MI355X GPUs come with 288GB HBM3E, 8TB/s bandwidth, and support scalable deployment up to 128 GPUs per rack delivering up to 2.6 exaFLOPS FP4. This isn’t just raw power, it’s optimized for real AI work, from GenAI to training to inference.

The software side is no slouch either. ROCm 7 now supports major models like LLaMA, brings over 3.5x inference gains, and even powers 1.8M+ Hugging Face models out of the box. It’s open, fast, and built for scale.

And AMD’s just getting started. Coming in 2026, the next-gen MI400 Series promises a 10x performance leap, paired with 432GB HBM4 and the new “Helios” AI rack, a full-blown rack-scale system designed for serious compute density.

Bottom line? If you’re looking at building or scaling real AI infrastructure, AMD’s new Instinct lineup isn’t just promising, it’s delivering.
