What actually differs
Both GPUs launched in 2023: the Data Center GPU Max 1100 on Xe-HPC and the Data Center GPU Max 1550 on Xe-HPC.
Dense throughput for the Data Center GPU Max 1100 against the Data Center GPU Max 1550: FP64 22 vs 52 TFLOPS, FP32 22 vs 52 TFLOPS, FP16 420 vs 839 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.
Memory is 48 GB against 128 GB, fed at 1.2 TB/s versus 3.3 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 300 W for the Data Center GPU Max 1100 and 600 W for the Data Center GPU Max 1550. At FP32 that works out to 0.07 against 0.09 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.
