why would you buy a Gaudi 3 Accelerator when you can buy a MI300x for the same price?

why would you buy a Gaudi 3 Accelerator when you can buy a MI300x for the same price?

In the world where AMD can supply MI300's en mass, the answer is "no one", but AMD can't produce them fast enough, so some desperate people will waste their money on Gaudi.

Because Gaudi 3 is faster with better performance and power efficiency.

Because Gaudi 3 is faster with better performance and power efficiency.

None of this is know yet with certainty. We need to wait for independent 3rd party reviewers. What we do know from specifications is that Gaudi has slower HBM and less of it than MI300.

MLID, who has access to some good leaks, is basically calling Gaudi 3 "an MI300 with less HBM"

Intel has a decent AI software stack as well and in some ways more mature and appropriate depending on what's being done, namely compared to AMD anyways. It's good to have competition, and really, not everyone is suited to pay for excessive prices on B200 because demand significantly outstrips supply.

Because if i lived under a rock and this article was my only source of information, i wouldnt even know that AMD offered such products.

This is becoming an interesting trend in Toms where writers can publish such articles and manage to completely avoid the name AMD.

why would you buy a Gaudi 3 Accelerator when you can buy a MI300x for the same price?

Because Intel is the only one that offers a software suit that competes with Nvidia (OneAPI versus CUDA). Also Gaudi 3 is cheaper. It's $15K while the MI300x is $20K. And another reason is the availability. That also is related to cost too as low availability means that actual prices of AMD and Nvidia GPUs have skyrocketed.
