AMD Instinct MI350P vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Instinct MI350P and the Lisuan Tech LX MAX presents a stark contrast: the head-to-head benchmark table is empty, and both cards carry an identical percentile placement of 50 against all GPUs. The absence of measured scores means there are no exact numeric deltas to cite between these two accelerators. However, the specification sheets alone reveal a fundamental split in design intent, and the data indicates two completely different performance envelopes.

The AMD Instinct MI350P is built around the MI350 128CU chip with CDNA 4.0 architecture. Its shading unit count reaches 8192, paired with 512 texture mapping units. The FP32 throughput is listed at 36.04 TFLOPS, and the FP16 rate matches that at 36.04 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. This is a compute-first design where precision scales linearly, indicating the hardware does not sacrifice FP32 throughput when operating in reduced precision. The texture fill rate is recorded at 1,126.4 GTexel/s, a figure that dwarfs the Lisuan's 384.0 GTexel/s.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX, by contrast, uses the 7G106 chip on the TrueGPU architecture. It carries 6144 shading units and 192 TMUs, but it also includes 96 raster operation units, something the MI350P entirely lacks (0 ROPS, 0 MPixel/s pixel rate). The Lisuan's FP32 throughput is 24.58 TFLOPS, and its FP16 output climbs to 49.15 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. This doubling of FP16 over FP32 is a classic graphics-oriented trait, allowing higher throughput in shader workloads that tolerate reduced precision. The pixel rate is 192.0 GPixel/s, confirming the Lisuan is designed to drive display outputs, whereas the MI350P has no display outputs at all.

Memory configurations diverge even more sharply. The MI350P carries 144 GB of HBM3e on an 8192-bit bus, yielding 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth. The LX MAX has 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, producing 432.0 GB/s. The bandwidth ratio is nearly 19 to 1 in favor of the AMD part. Effective memory clock speeds differ as well: the MI350P runs at 2000 MHz (8 Gbps effective), while the Lisuan runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). Despite the higher per-pin data rate on the Lisuan, the vastly wider bus on the MI350P delivers an order of magnitude more aggregate bandwidth.

Process technology also separates the two. The MI350P is fabricated on a 3 nm node at TSMC, with 73,000 million transistors packed into a 1190 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 61.3 million per square millimeter. The LX MAX uses a 6 nm node, also at TSMC, but the transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, so no density comparison is possible. The MI350P's power envelope is 600 W with a suggested 1000 W PSU, while the LX MAX draws 225 W with a 550 W suggested PSU. Both use a single 16-pin power connector and dual-slot cooling.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data does not provide direct wins for either card, so the analysis must lean on architectural capabilities. The MI350P wins decisively in raw compute throughput and memory bandwidth. Its FP32 figure of 36.04 TFLOPS is approximately 47% higher than the LX MAX's 24.58 TFLOPS. In FP16, the MI350P's 36.04 TFLOPS is lower than the LX MAX's 49.15 TFLOPS, meaning the Lisuan actually leads in half-precision throughput by roughly 36%. This is a significant inversion: the AMD card maintains parity between FP32 and FP16, while the Lisuan nearly doubles its output when moving to FP16.

Texture processing is another clear MI350P advantage. The 1,126.4 GTexel/s rate is about 2.9 times the LX MAX's 384.0 GTexel/s. For workloads that sample textures heavily, such as certain simulation or rendering pipelines, the AMD part has a substantial edge. However, the LX MAX has a functional pixel pipeline with 192.0 GPixel/s, while the MI350P shows 0 MPixel/s, so any workload requiring rasterization or display output can only run on the Lisuan.

The memory subsystem is where the MI350P dominates most completely. The 8.19 TB/s bandwidth is approximately 19 times the LX MAX's 432.0 GB/s. For large data sets, sparse linear algebra, or transformer-scale models, this bandwidth difference is likely the single most decisive factor. The 144 GB capacity versus 12 GB also means the MI350P can hold far larger working sets without spilling to slower storage. The LX MAX, with its 12 GB frame buffer, is suited to more modest workloads or graphics rendering where capacity demands are lower.

Interface generation differs as well: the MI350P uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the LX MAX uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The newer bus standard doubles the theoretical transfer rate for host communication, though no specific bandwidth numbers are provided in the data. The LX MAX supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3, while the MI350P lists N/A for all three APIs. This confirms the Lisuan is the only one of the two with any graphics API compatibility.

The Verdict

The data indicates two purpose-built devices that rarely overlap in intended use. The AMD Instinct MI350P is an accelerator with no display outputs, no raster pipeline, and no graphics API support. Its strengths are concentrated in FP32 compute, texture throughput, and an enormous HBM3e memory pool. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is a graphics-capable card with four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, full DirectX 12 Ultimate support, and a pixel pipeline that the MI350P simply does not possess.

For a buyer whose workload is large-scale FP32 compute with massive memory residency, the MI350P is the clear choice from the recorded specifications. The 144 GB capacity and 8.19 TB/s bandwidth are unmatched by the LX MAX's 12 GB and 432.0 GB/s. The 36.04 TFLOPS FP32 rate exceeds the Lisuan's 24.58 TFLOPS, and the texture rate is nearly triple. The 600 W power draw and 1000 W PSU recommendation indicate a data-center class card, consistent with its server-oriented design.

For a buyer needing FP16 throughput, display output, or graphics API compatibility, the LX MAX wins. Its 49.15 TFLOPS FP16 rate is higher than the MI350P's 36.04 TFLOPS, and the 2:1 FP16 ratio suggests optimization for shader-heavy workloads. The 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and four DisplayPort outputs make it a functional graphics card, while the MI350P cannot output video at all. The 225 W power draw also makes the Lisuan far easier to integrate into a workstation without specialized power infrastructure.

The identical 50th percentile ranking for both cards against all GPUs is curious given their divergent specs. This likely reflects that the percentile is based on benchmark scores, and both have zero recorded benchmark entries, placing them at the median by default. Without actual benchmark results, the percentile provides no discriminative information. The empty head-to-head table means no empirical performance comparison exists in the database yet.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Instinct MI350P uses the MI350 128CU chip built on CDNA 4.0 architecture, a compute-optimized design with no graphics pipeline. It has 8192 shading units and 512 TMUs, but zero ROPs, resulting in a pixel rate of 0 MPixel/s. The FP32 and FP16 throughput are identical at 36.04 TFLOPS, indicating a 1:1 ratio where reduced precision does not increase throughput. This architecture prioritizes consistent compute regardless of precision, typical for scientific and AI workloads where FP32 accuracy is required.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses the 7G106 chip on the TrueGPU architecture, a name suggesting a graphics-first design. It has 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, producing a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s. The FP16 throughput of 49.15 TFLOPS is exactly double the FP32 rate of 24.58 TFLOPS, a 2:1 ratio that indicates specialized hardware for half-precision shader work. The presence of ROPs and a pixel pipeline, along with four DisplayPort outputs, confirms this is a rasterization-capable device.

The MI350P is fabricated on a 3 nm process with 73,000 million transistors on a 1190 mm² die, achieving a density of 61.3 million transistors per square millimeter. The LX MAX uses a 6 nm process, but its transistor count and die size are unknown, so density cannot be calculated. Both are manufactured at TSMC, but the node generation gap is significant: 3 nm versus 6 nm typically implies a major difference in power efficiency and transistor scaling, though exact comparative metrics are absent from the data.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The MI350P uses HBM3e on an 8192-bit bus, a stacking technology designed for maximum bandwidth and capacity. The LX MAX uses GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, a conventional graphics memory layout. The MI350P's memory clock is 2000 MHz with 8 Gbps effective data rate, while the LX MAX runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective. The higher data rate per pin on the Lisuan is offset by the MI350P's far wider bus.

The MI350P has no graphics API support, listing N/A for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan. This makes it a pure compute accelerator, unsuitable for any rendering or display workload. The LX MAX supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3, making it compatible with modern graphics software stacks.
