AMD MI210
vs
Nvidia RTX 3050
A data center GPU against a consumer card, one CDNA2 and one Ampere: 64 GB HBM2e against 8 GB GDDR6, 7.3x the memory bandwidth on the MI210, and Infinity Fabric 300 GB/s on the MI210 where the RTX 3050 is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | MI210 | RTX 3050 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | No on-demand listings | -- /GPU/hr from $0.07 | |
| Reserved | -- /GPU/hr from $0.86 (1 mo) | -- /GPU/hr from $0.15 (1 mo) | |
| Spot | No spot listings | -- /GPU/hr from $0.03 |
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, reserved and spot on the RTX 3050: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
