AMD Instinct MI355X vs AMD Radeon PRO V710 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Instinct MI355X and the AMD Radeon PRO V710. The database contains zero matching test runs where both cards were evaluated under identical workloads. This absence of paired results means a conventional score-by-score comparison is not possible from the available measurements.

What can be established is the benchmark standing of each card within the broader database. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 has two recorded benchmark results. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, it scores 853 points. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, it scores 116,460 points. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 58,657 points, which places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs in the database.

The AMD Instinct MI355X has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as zero, and its percentile rank sits at the 50th percentile. However, this percentile value is not derived from actual test runs; it reflects the absence of measurement data rather than a performance ranking. The card's specifications are recorded, but its empirical performance has not been captured.

The Radeon PRO V710's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its average score. The NVIDIA P102-100 has an average score of 58,528 points, which is 0.2% behind the V710. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT averages 58,392 points, trailing by 0.5%. The Intel Arc A570M averages 58,239 points, a 0.7% deficit. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM averages 58,085 points, sitting 1.0% behind. These tight margins indicate the V710's measured performance clusters closely with a group of established mid-range and previous-generation cards.

Since the MI355X has no benchmark data, the head-to-head section must rely on the specification fields that are recorded for both units. The comparison therefore shifts from measured outcomes to design parameters, which are detailed in the specification and architecture sections below.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Instinct MI355X wins decisively in raw compute capacity and memory resources based on the recorded specifications. Its FP32 throughput of 78.64 TFLOPS is roughly 2.8 times the Radeon PRO V710's 27.65 TFLOPS. The memory gap is even larger: the MI355X offers 288 GB of HBM3e with 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth, versus the V710's 28 GB of GDDR6 at 504.0 GB/s. These figures position the MI355X for workloads that demand massive data movement and high-density parallel math, such as large-scale matrix operations or multi-tenant inference tasks.

The Radeon PRO V710 wins in efficiency and practical deployment constraints. Its total board power of 158 W is dramatically lower than the MI355X's 1400 W. It fits in a single-slot form factor with a single 8-pin power connector, and the suggested power supply is 450 W. The MI355X uses an OAM module format, has no power connectors listed, and requires an 1800 W suggested power supply. The V710 also carries a full graphics API stack: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, whereas the MI355X lists N/A for all three APIs. The V710 has a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and 96 ROPs, while the MI355X has a pixel rate of 0 MPixel/s and 0 ROPs, indicating the V710 is designed for rasterization-capable tasks.

The V710 also holds a measured performance percentile advantage. Its 88th percentile rank is derived from actual benchmark scores, while the MI355X's 50th percentile is a placeholder due to missing test data. In the absence of direct comparisons, the V710 is the only one of the two with empirical evidence of competitive standing against other GPUs.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every recorded specification field. The Instinct MI355X uses a 3 nm process node, while the Radeon PRO V710 uses 5 nm.

The MI355X is an OAM module with dimensions of 102 mm length and 165 mm width; the V710 is single-slot with no recorded dimensions. The MI355X has no display outputs and no power connectors, while the V710 also has no display outputs but lists one 8-pin power connector. The bus interface is PCIe 5.0 x16 for the MI355X and PCIe 4.0 x16 for the V710.

Architecture Differences

The Instinct MI355X is built on the CDNA 4.0 architecture with the MI350 256CU chip, while the Radeon PRO V710 uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 32 chip. These are fundamentally different design philosophies. CDNA 4.0 is optimized for compute acceleration, evidenced by the absence of rasterization hardware (0 ROPs, 0 MPixel/s pixel rate) and the lack of graphics API support. RDNA 3.0 is a graphics-oriented architecture, reflected in its 96 ROPs, 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, and full API compatibility with DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The MI355X belongs to the Instinct (MIx) generation and has the codename "MI350 256CU" as its chip identifier. Its predecessor is listed as "Radeon Instinct." The V710 belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation with the codename "Wheat Nas," and its predecessor is "Radeon Pro Vega." The MI355X was released on June 11, 2025, while the V710 was released on October 2, 2024. The MI355X has a transistor density of 77.7 million per mm² on a 2380 mm² die. The V710 has a density of 81.2 million per mm² on a 346 mm² die.

The MI355X's 16,384 shading units and 1,024 TMUs indicate a design focused on massive parallel compute throughput. Its 288 GB HBM3e memory with 8.19 TB/s bandwidth is suited for data sets that cannot fit in conventional GPU memory. The V710's 3,456 shading units, 216 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 54 RT cores represent a balanced graphics pipeline, with ray tracing support that the MI355X does not list. The MI355X has no recorded tensor core count, and neither card lists tensor cores in the data.

The Verdict

The database presents two cards with fundamentally different roles. The AMD Instinct MI355X is a compute-oriented accelerator with no graphics output, no rasterization hardware, and no API support. Its recorded specifications show 78.64 TFLOPS of FP32, 288 GB of HBM3e, and 8.19 TB/s of bandwidth. These numbers place it in a class of hardware intended for dense compute environments where memory capacity and data throughput are the primary constraints. The 1400 W TDP and OAM module form factor confirm it is designed for data center racks with dedicated power and cooling infrastructure.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is a graphics-capable card with a full API stack, 96 ROPs, and 54 ray tracing cores. Its measured average benchmark score of 58,657 points places it in the 88th percentile, with nearest rivals within 1.0% of its performance. Its 158 W TDP, single-slot design, and single 8-pin power connector make it suitable for systems with modest power budgets. The 28 GB GDDR6 memory and 504.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for many professional visualization and compute tasks but are an order of magnitude smaller than the MI355X's resources.

The data does not support a direct performance comparison because the MI355X has no recorded benchmarks. Purchasing decisions must therefore rest on the specification differences. The MI355X is the choice for workloads that need maximum FP32 throughput, massive memory capacity, and high bandwidth, provided the power and cooling requirements can be met. The V710 is the choice for systems that need a measured, competitive GPU with graphics API support, ray tracing, and a fraction of the power draw. The MI355X's lack of display outputs and rasterization hardware makes it unsuitable for any workload requiring a visual output. The V710's lack of benchmark data on the MI355X means its true standing against the V710 remains unquantified in the database.
