MI250 GPU

The AMD MI250 is a high-performance data center accelerator built on the CDNA 2 architecture and manufactured using TSMC's 6nm FinFET process. Released in November 2021, the MI250 serves as AMD's answer to large-scale HPC and AI training workloads, positioned as a previous-generation alternative to NVIDIA's Hopper-based offerings. The GPU is designed in an OAM module form factor for high-density server deployments. The MI250 delivers 362.1 TFLOPs of FP16 performance and features 128 GB of HBM2e memory with 3.2 TB/s of memory bandwidth. Its dual-GPU design provides 45.3 TFLOPs of FP64 performance per GPU die, making it particularly suited for scientific computing applications that require double-precision calculations. The accelerator includes 8 Infinity Fabric Links providing 100 GB/s of interconnect bandwidth and supports PCIe 4.0 x16 connectivity. In cloud environments, the MI250 typically serves large-scale AI training workflows, scientific simulations, and HPC applications that can leverage AMD's ROCm ecosystem. Its substantial memory capacity and high-bandwidth memory subsystem make it suitable for training large language models and handling datasets that exceed the memory limits of consumer-grade GPUs.
