AMD's $25,000 GPU: Instinct MI210 Tear-Down ft. Level1Techs
11,000Sponsor: Fractal Pop Air RGB Case on Amazon https://geni.us/TMxbP
Wendell from Level1Techs brought an AMD Instinct MI210 video card to our office to tear-down! Our understanding via Wendell is that this is an AMD MI210 GPU (meaning that the shroud lists the MI200 series, maybe because it's an older shroud, but the GPU core itself is the MI210 -- so the silicon would be the MI210, according to Wendell). He'll also be taking it back to his own studio to perform advanced testing on it, but while it's here, we get to look at the assembly, cooling solution, and PCB layout of this unique card. We filmed this before the Radeon 7900 XTX & 7900 XT announcements, so we weren't sure if the MI210 would have chiplets or not. You'll get to find out with us in the tear-down!
Wendell noted that the 'street price' for these cards is about $25K. Neither of us is keeping it - it's on loan for benchmarking at Level1Techs.
