Performance Analysis
Dense FP16 performance on the MI250X reaches 383 TFLOPS while the P100 delivers 18.7 TFLOPS dense FP16. This gap allows the MI250X to process larger models or higher batch sizes during training and inference. Memory bandwidth of 3277 GB/s on the MI250X supports sustained data movement that exceeds the 732 GB/s available on the P100. The 560W TDP of the MI250X versus the 250W TDP of the P100 reflects the power cost of these higher dense FP16 and FP32 figures.

When to Choose the MI250X
The MI250X suits workloads that require 128 GB of VRAM and 383 TFLOPS dense FP16. Scientific computing tasks benefit from the 47.9 TFLOPS FP32 rating and 3277 GB/s bandwidth when handling large datasets.
When to Choose the P100
The P100 fits scenarios where 16 GB of VRAM and 9.3 TFLOPS FP32 suffice for lighter inference or legacy code. Its 250W TDP supports deployments with stricter power limits than the 560W requirement of the MI250X.
Use Cases
The MI250X supplies 383 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 128 GB VRAM that exceed the P100 18.7 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 16 GB VRAM.
Dense FP16 throughput of 383 TFLOPS on the MI250X enables faster token generation than the 18.7 TFLOPS dense FP16 on the P100.
The 3277 GB/s bandwidth and 128 GB VRAM on the MI250X accommodate larger fine tuning batches than the P100 732 GB/s and 16 GB.
Both GPUs can run inference though the MI250X 383 TFLOPS dense FP16 offers higher throughput than the P100 18.7 TFLOPS dense FP16.
FP32 performance of 47.9 TFLOPS on the MI250X surpasses the 9.3 TFLOPS on the P100 for simulation workloads.
