AMD Instinct MI350 series vs Google TPU v6 (Trillium)

Side-by-side specs

Straight from each vendor's datasheet. Winner in bold: higher throughput, memory, or transistor count; lower power draw or price. Sparse (2:4) throughput roughly doubles the FP8/INT8 numbers shown.

Common questions

AMD Instinct MI350 series vs Google TPU v6 (Trillium): which is faster for training?

AMD Instinct MI350 series has 2.51x the dense FP8 throughput of the other (AMD Instinct MI350 series: 4,600 TFLOPS; Google TPU v6 (Trillium): 1,836 TFLOPS). Real-world training speed also depends on memory bandwidth, interconnect, and software stack: see the spec diff for those inputs.

AMD Instinct MI350 series vs Google TPU v6 (Trillium): which has more memory?

AMD Instinct MI350 series carries more HBM (AMD Instinct MI350 series: 288 GB HBM3e; Google TPU v6 (Trillium): 32 GB HBM3). Memory capacity sets the largest model that fits on one chip without partitioning; memory bandwidth sets inference throughput.

AMD Instinct MI350 series vs Google TPU v6 (Trillium): which is more power-efficient?

Dense FP8 TFLOPS per watt: AMD Instinct MI350 series 4.60 (4,600 ÷ 1000 W); Google TPU v6 (Trillium) 9.18 (1,836 ÷ 200 W). Google TPU v6 (Trillium) wins at the die level; system-level efficiency also depends on cooling and interconnect.
