FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The Instinct MI210 is the newer part: CDNA 2 (2022) against the Instinct MI100's CDNA (2020).

The Instinct MI210 carries 32 GB more memory (64 GB against 32 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 1.2 TB/s against 1.6 TB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 300 W against 300 W, and at FP32 the Instinct MI100 does more work per watt. Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.
