AMD Instinct MI300X 192GB — Benchmarks & Specs
Bottom line: how fast is the AMD Instinct MI300X 192GB?
For local LLM inference it generates 22021.0 tokens/sec running llama2:70b at FP8 under vllm, per AMD ROCm Blog. In Geekbench 6 OpenCL it scores 379,660 points, per Geekbench Browser. Its 192 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 70B-parameter open-weight models at Q4 without offloading.
Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
The AMD Instinct MI300X 192GB is a graphics card from the CDNA 3 family released in 2023 from AMD. Key on-paper specs include 192 GB of GDDR VRAM, 750W TDP. It launched with a $15,000 MSRP, though street prices typically diverge meaningfully from launch pricing — see the linked product cards below for current Amazon listings. Data on this page draws on 4 synthetic benchmark results, 12 community AI inference reports, aggregated from public benchmark databases (TechPowerUp, PassMark, Geekbench, Cinebench) and the LocalLLaMA community. Read this page when shopping the AMD Instinct MI300X 192GB, comparing it against other graphics cards in your build, or sizing it for a specific workload (gaming at 1080p/1440p/4K, productivity benchmarks, or local LLM inference).
AI Inference Performance
Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.
