Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

What the numbers mean

Capacity and bandwidth

Memory

192 GB

Bandwidth

5,325 GB/s

Largest model

Llama 4 Maverick

Radeon Instinct MI300X holds 192 GB of HBM3. That puts it in the class of hardware that holds the largest open-weight models without splitting them across machines. An inference runtime can reach roughly 172.8 GB.

Memory bandwidth reaches 5,325 GB/s across a bus of 8,192 bits. That is at the top of what exists. Since each token means reading the whole model out of memory once, it translates almost directly into generation speed — this card is bandwidth-rich enough that model size stops being the limiting factor long before the bus does.

The figure is the bus width multiplied by a memory clock of 1.3 GHz. It is why core counts predict generation speed so poorly.

The biggest thing it holds is Llama 4 Maverick, 400B, compressed to Q3_K_M and generating around 65.9 tokens per second.

The chip and how it was built

Radeon Instinct MI300X is built on the graphics processor Aqua Vanjaram, using the architecture CDNA 3.0 from AMD, as part of the generation Radeon Instinct(MIx).

The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a process of 5 nm, with a die measuring 1,017 mm², holding 153 billion transistors. A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.

It was released in December 2023, roughly 2.7702384032676 years ago. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.

Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks

FP16

653.7 TFLOPS

FP64

81.7 TFLOPS

On paper Radeon Instinct MI300X reaches 653.7 TFLOPS at half precision, and 81.7 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.

Double-precision throughput reaches 81.7 TFLOPS. It has no bearing on running a language model — no inference runtime uses it — but it separates datacentre parts from consumer ones, since the latter deliberately restrict it.

Clocks run from a base of 1 GHz to a boost of 2.1 GHz. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.

Cache and processing units

Radeon Instinct MI300X has an L1 cache of 16 KB, backed by an L2 cache of 16 MB. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.

There are 19,456 shading units, 1,216 texture mapping units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.

Power, size and installation

Power draw

750 W

Radeon Instinct MI300X is rated at 750 W, and the suggested system power supply is 1,150 W. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.

The board occupies oam module. Worth checking against the case and power supply already in the machine, since the largest cards need considerably more of both than a typical desktop provides.

It connects over PCIe 5.0 x16. The interface governs how quickly a model is loaded from disk into the card, not how fast it runs once there, so a narrower link costs a few seconds at startup and nothing thereafter.

Step by step

How to work out the tokens per second of a Radeon Instinct MI300X

You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.

  1. 01

    Search for the model you want

    The table lists 672 models this card can run. Search by name, or by size — typing 27b matches on the parameter count even when the name never states it.

  2. 02

    Set the context length you will actually use

    Set the context to your real working length. Short questions cost almost nothing, but a long document can consume a large share of 192 GB it is often what pushes a large model over the edge.

  3. 03

    Set a minimum quality if you need one

    Compression is what lets bigger models fit. The quality control drops any model that needs more of it than you are willing to give.

  4. 04

    Read the speed and the range

    The figures are calculated, not measured. The fastest result on this card is 1,759 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B. The same card and model vary by thirty to fifty per cent between inference runtimes.

  5. 05

    Check the headroom before you decide

    Tight means it works today; comfortable means it still works when the conversation grows. Compare what each model needs against an available 192 GB.

  6. 06

    Open the model to compare cards

    Following a model through to its own page lists all the hardware that can run it, so you can see how it compares against Radeon Instinct MI300X.

Answers

Radeon Instinct MI300X — common questions

01

Radeon Instinct MI300X— what bus interface does it use?

It uses PCIe 5.0 x16. This governs how fast a model is loaded onto the card rather than how fast it runs once loaded, so it costs a few seconds at startup and nothing during generation.

02

Radeon Instinct MI300X— is it good for running local AI models?

Its memory is large enough for models most desktop hardware cannot touch and its bandwidth puts it among the fastest hardware available for generation. In total it runs 672 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.

03

Radeon Instinct MI300X— can it run a model that does not fit in its memory?

Offloading past the card's 192 GB is possible and usually a false economy: the system-memory portion is slow enough to dominate the result.

04

Would two Radeon Instinct MI300X cards be twice as fast?

Capacity adds, throughput does not. Two of them give you 384 GB of combined memory, at roughly the same generation speed as one.

05

Radeon Instinct MI300X— which AI models can it run?

672 of the 721 open-weight language models we track fit on this card and can be run locally. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.

06

Radeon Instinct MI300X— what is the largest AI model it can run?

The largest model in our catalogue that fits is Llama 4 Maverick at 400B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 65.9 tokens per second and needs about 168.2 GB of the card's memory.

07

Radeon Instinct MI300X— how many tokens per second does it produce?

It depends on the model. The fastest model we track here is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 1,759 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.

08

Radeon Instinct MI300X— can it run 7B models?

Yes. For example it runs Gemma 4 E4B at Q8_0, using about 9.8 GB of memory and generating around 391 tokens per second.

09

Radeon Instinct MI300X— can it run 13B models?

Yes. For example it runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q8_0, using about 17.5 GB of memory and generating around 611 tokens per second.

10

Radeon Instinct MI300X— can it run 30B models?

Yes. For example it runs ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B at Q8_0, using about 29.2 GB of memory and generating around 349 tokens per second.

11

Radeon Instinct MI300X— can it run 70B models?

Yes. For example it runs Qwen3-Coder-Next at Q8_0, using about 80.7 GB of memory and generating around 122 tokens per second.

12

Radeon Instinct MI300X— how much memory does it have?

This card has 192 GB of HBM3. Around a tenth is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 172.8 GB available for a model and its conversation.

13

Radeon Instinct MI300X— what is its memory bandwidth?

Memory bandwidth reaches 5,325 GB/s across a bus of 8,192 bits. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.

14

Radeon Instinct MI300X— what type of memory does it use?

It uses HBM3 clocked at 1.3 GHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.

15

Radeon Instinct MI300X— who makes it?

This is a product of AMD, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a process of 5 nm.

16

Radeon Instinct MI300X— when was it released?

It was released in December 2023.

17

Radeon Instinct MI300X— how much power does it use?

Rated board power is 750 W, and the suggested system power supply is 1,150 W. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.

18

Radeon Instinct MI300X— how much cache does it have?

The L1 cache is 16 KB, and the L2 cache is 16 MB. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.

19

Radeon Instinct MI300X— what are its TFLOPS?

It is rated at 653.7 TFLOPS at half precision and 81.7 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.

20

Radeon Instinct MI300X— does it support CUDA?

No. CUDA is NVIDIA-only, and this is a card from AMD. It runs language models through ROCm, Vulkan or Metal depending on the software, which are less mature than the CUDA path — our estimates apply a penalty for that.

The other direction

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the hardware. If you already know which model you want and need to know what it takes to run it, start from the model instead.
