Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is now selling its MI300X, an AI chip that competes with Nvidia’s H100 chip in training and operating AI models. Meta, Microsoft, Oracle and OpenAI have already committed to using the MI300X when it ships next year, taking on market leader Nvidia.

• AMD CEO Lisa Su called the MI300X “the industry’s most advanced AI accelerator.”

• According to Su, MI300X competes with Nvidia’s AI GPU H100 in training large language models.

• MI300X outperforms H100 by 1.4x when running Meta’s Llama 2 model for inference tasks.

• Pricing details of the MI300X have not been publicly disclosed. Su said AMD’s chip needs to offer a more competitive price compared to Nvidia’s roughly $40,000 H100 to attract customers.
