In addition to the Instinct MI325X AI Accelerator, AMD also updated its AMD Instinct roadmap and previewed the upcoming Instinct MI355X AI Accelerator at its Advance AI event held earlier. Based on CDNA 4 architecture and made on 3nm manufacturing process, the Instinct MI355X will bring 288GB of HMB3E memory and continue AMD's Instinct push next year, acting as a stepping stone before CNDA Next MI400 Series which comes in 2026.

According to the preview, the MI355X will further increase memory capacity, bring new architecture with further increase in AI performance, as well as bring support for new FP4/FP6 datatypes. According to the specifications provided by AMD, the Instinct MI355X and the MI355X Platform, will bring significant increase in memory, offering up to 288GB per GPU and 2.3TB of HBM3E for platform, with memory bandwidth of up to 64TB/s.

When it comes to compute performance, the MI355X platform will provide 18.5 PFLOPs of FP16, 37 PFLOPs of FP8, and 74 PFLOPs of the new FP6/FP4 compute performance. According to AMD, this is a 7.4x increase in compute performance, a 1.5x increase in memory capacity, and a six times increase in model size, compared to the MI300X.
