AMD and NVIDIA Clash Over AI GPU Performance Claims

Both companies assert their GPUs outperform the other's in AI benchmarks, with NVIDIA stating that when using optimized software, its H100 is actually faster than AMD's MI300X.

AMD and NVIDIA are engaged in a fierce battle over AI superiority, with both companies claiming their GPUs outperform the other's in AI benchmarks.
NVIDIA has responded to AMD's claims that its MI300X GPU outperforms NVIDIA's H100 GPU, stating that when using optimized software, the H100 is actually faster.
AMD has countered NVIDIA's claims, stating that even when the H100 is running its optimized software stack, the MI300X still retains faster performance.
NVIDIA's H100 GPU was released in 2022 and has seen various improvements on the software side, including the recent TensorRT-LLM improvements that have driven further performance in AI-specific workloads.
AMD's Instinct MI300X and MI300A are expected to ramp by 1H 2024, around the same time NVIDIA will be introducing an even faster Hopper H200 GPU followed by Blackwell B100 in 2H 2024.
