FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both GPUs launched in 2023: the Instinct MI300X on CDNA 3 and the H100 on Hopper.

Dense throughput for the Instinct MI300X against the H100: FP64 82 vs 30 TFLOPS, FP32 163 vs 60 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.

Memory is 192 GB against 94 GB, fed at 5.3 TB/s versus 3.9 TB/s. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.

Power budgets are 750 W for the Instinct MI300X and 400 W for the H100. At FP32 that works out to 0.22 against 0.15 TFLOPS per watt.

For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
