AMD says its wild new 1400W AI GPU can beat Nvidia's best Blackwell offering

For the first time, it looks like AMD is catching to Nvidia when it comes to AI GPUs. At its Advancing AI event, AMD launched the Instinct MI350X and MI355X, both of which are already shipping to customers. According to AMD, the 1400-watt MI355X can match and sometimes even exceed Nvidia's B200 — currently the most powerful data center GPU that Nvidia produces — depending on the data type. The MI350X and MI355X arrive less than a year after AMD launched the MI325X, and the company says it will continue to push out new Instinct GPUs for data center users each year.
