AMD MI210
vs
Nvidia K80
Two data center GPUs, one CDNA2 and one Kepler: 64 GB HBM2e against 12 GB GDDR5, 6.8x the memory bandwidth on the MI210, and Infinity Fabric 300 GB/s on the MI210 where the K80 is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | MI210 | K80 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | No on-demand listings | -- /GPU/hr from $0.90 | |
| Reserved | -- /GPU/hr from $0.86 (1 mo) | -- /GPU/hr from $0.04 (24 mo) |
Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Medians are across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one. No median for reserved on the MI210 and on-demand and reserved on the K80: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
