What is the MetaX C500?

The C500 is a GPU from MetaX on the XCORE GPGPU architecture, an accelerator for AI training, inference and high-performance computing. It is a PCIe add-in card, so it fits standard servers and workstations. C500 full specifications →

Can I rent the C500 in the cloud?

Flopper is not tracking any live rental listings for the C500 yet. The provider directory lists the clouds that rent comparable accelerators on demand. GPU cloud providers →

How does the C500 compare with other accelerators?

This page sets the C500 against the C600. The C500 is the older generation of the two. Both are MetaX parts; the C500 is a PCIe card while the C600 is an OAM module. The compare tool builds the same comparison for any two parts in the catalogue. All GPU comparisons →

Where do the C500 figures come from?

MetaX published the C500 figures in marketing material rather than a datasheet, and Flopper has no independent confirmation of them. How Flopper verifies specifications →

Figures are dense. Where a vendor publishes a figure it sits under the dense one and never decides a winner. Hover any precision for its definition, or read the GPU glossary.

FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The C600 is the newer part: XCORE 1.5 (2025) against the C500's XCORE GPGPU (2023).

Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.

New to the terms? The glossary explains FP32, TF32, BF16, FP16, INT8, Sparsity and TFLOPS.

Frequently asked questions

Which should you choose, the C500 or the C600?

Packaging differs too: the C500 is a PCIe card while the C600 is an OAM module, so check what your servers accept.
