Radeon instinct mi60 has disappeared from amd website

AMD Radeon Instinct MI60, one of the world's first 7nm graphics cards, has gone missing on the chip maker's website. However, AMD has good reason why the data center graphics card is no longer listed, and comes in the form of an alternative that is not currently listed.

Radeon Instinct MI60 no longer appears on AMD list

Contrary to popular speculation, the Radeon Instinct MI60 has not yet retired. The chipmaker continues to actively sell the accelerator to its customers who request a specific SKU. However, AMD has changed its strategy a bit to help drive sales.

If you look at the specs, the Radeon Instinct MI60 has 256 SP processors and 16GB more of HBM2 memory than the Radeon Instinct MI50. At first glance, the difference may seem substantial, but it doesn't really tell the whole story.

According to AMD figures, the Radeon Instinct MI60 offers up to 10.1%, 9.7%, and 10.4% more precision, single precision, and double precision, respectively, than the Radeon Instinct MI50. Both accelerators boast a memory bandwidth of up to 1024GBps, and memory capacity can be significant on large AI models.

AMD never disclosed the price of the Radeon Instinct MI60 or MI50. But judging from AMD's statement, the price difference is obviously significant, making business customers more inclined to the more profitable model. AMD did themselves a favor by putting another 16GB of memory into the Radeon Instinct MI50 as it will make the throttle even more attractive now.

AMD hasn't updated its website to reflect the 32GB option for the Radeon Instinct MI50, but the chipmaker is already promoting the new model to its clientele.
