AMD made its Instinct MI300 series available on 6 December 2023. The MI300X accelerator has 192GB of HBM3 and 5.3 TB/s of peak memory bandwidth, and AMD said its platform runs inference on BLOOM 176B up to 1.6 times faster than NVIDIA’s H100 HGX. Microsoft announced Azure ND MI300X v5 virtual machines, Oracle planned bare-metal instances, and Dell, HPE, Lenovo and Supermicro announced servers.

Why it matters

Cloud providers and server makers gained a large-memory alternative to NVIDIA while H100s were scarce.
