AMD Instinct MI350X vs Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data for these two accelerators is sparse, with no benchmark scores or head-to-head results populated in the database. The AMD Instinct MI350X and Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 both hold a percentile rank of 50 against all GPUs, and neither has an average benchmark score recorded. This means a direct use-case split based on measured wins is not possible from the available information.

What can be inferred comes from architectural capacity. The AMD Instinct MI350X delivers 72.09 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 (1:1) compute, while the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 delivers 22.22 TFLOPS in both precisions. The AMD part also provides 288 GB of HBM3e memory with 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth, compared to the Intel part's 48 GB of HBM2e at 1.23 TB/s. For workloads that scale with raw compute throughput and memory capacity, such as large dense matrix operations or massive model residency, the AMD accelerator is positioned to dominate. The Intel accelerator, with its 300 W TDP and dual-slot form factor, presents a lower power envelope and smaller physical footprint, suggesting deployment scenarios where density and power constraints are prioritized over peak throughput. Without actual benchmark data, the database cannot confirm which device wins in any specific application class, only that the two are architecturally different in scale.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Instinct MI350X uses the CDNA 4.0 architecture built on a 3 nm TSMC process, while the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 uses the Generation 12.5 architecture on a 10 nm Intel process. The AMD chip, designated MI350 256CU, contains 185,000 million transistors on a 2380 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 77.7M per mm². The Intel Ponte Vecchio chip contains 100,000 million transistors on a 1280 mm² die, with a density of 78.1M per mm². Despite the smaller absolute transistor count, the Intel die achieves a slightly higher density.

The AMD accelerator has 16,384 shading units, 1,024 texture mapping units, and no raster operation pipelines (0 ROPs). It also has no dedicated ray tracing cores. The Intel accelerator has 7,168 shading units and 448 TMUs, also with 0 ROPs, but it includes 56 ray tracing cores. Neither part supports display outputs, and both use a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. The AMD part reports no API support for DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan, while the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (12_1) and OpenGL 4.6, with no Vulkan entry recorded.

Memory architecture differs substantially. AMD uses 288 GB of HBM3e across an 8192-bit bus, achieving 8.19 TB/s bandwidth. Intel uses 48 GB of HBM2e across the same 8192-bit bus width, achieving 1.23 TB/s. Both share the same bus width, so the bandwidth gap is driven entirely by memory type and clock speed. The AMD memory runs at 2000 MHz (8 Gbps effective), while the Intel memory runs at 600 MHz (1200 Mbps effective). The AMD part also has a higher boost clock at 2200 MHz versus 1550 MHz for Intel, while both share a 1000 MHz base clock.

Physical design differs as well. The AMD Instinct MI350X is an OAM module measuring 102 mm in length and 165 mm in width, with no power connectors and a suggested PSU of 1400 W. Its TDP is 1000 W. The Intel part is a dual-slot card measuring 267 mm in length, uses a single 12-pin power connector, has a suggested PSU of 700 W, and a TDP of 300 W. The AMD part has no production status recorded, while the Intel part is listed as Active. The AMD release date is 2025-06-11, and the Intel release date is 2023-01-09. The AMD part lists its predecessor as Radeon Instinct, while the Intel part lists its successor as H3C Graphics.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no populated head-to-head benchmark results for these two accelerators. There are no wins recorded for either side, and no benchmark scores exist to compare. Consequently, any numerical comparison must rely on the specification data recorded in the database rather than measured performance.

The compute gap is the clearest differentiation. The AMD Instinct MI350X delivers 72.09 TFLOPS in FP32 and FP16 (1:1), which is more than three times the 22.22 TFLOPS recorded for the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1100 in both precisions. This ratio holds exactly for both FP32 and FP16 because each part reports a 1:1 ratio between the two precisions. The AMD texture rate is 2,252.8 GTexel/s versus 694.4 GTexel/s for Intel, a difference of roughly 3.24 times. Both parts report a pixel rate of 0 MPixel/s.

Memory bandwidth shows an even larger gap. The AMD part provides 8.19 TB/s against 1.23 TB/s for Intel, a factor of about 6.66. Memory capacity differs by a factor of six as well: 288 GB versus 48 GB. The AMD part uses HBM3e while the Intel part uses HBM2e, and the effective memory clock is 8 Gbps versus 1200 Mbps. Both share an 8192-bit bus, so the bandwidth difference is a direct function of memory generation and clock.

Power efficiency is the one area where the Intel part leads based on recorded specifications. The Intel TDP is 300 W versus 1000 W for AMD, and the suggested PSU is 700 W versus 1400 W. Per watt, the Intel part delivers 22.22 TFLOPS divided by 300 W, which is approximately 74.07 GFLOPS per watt. The AMD part delivers 72.09 TFLOPS divided by 1000 W, which is approximately 72.09 GFLOPS per watt. These figures are close, with the Intel part holding a slight efficiency edge in FP32 per watt based on the recorded TDP values. However, the database does not record measured power consumption under load, so these are TDP-derived estimates only.
