AMD MI250
vs
Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada
A data center GPU against a workstation card, one CDNA2 and one Ada Lovelace: 128 GB HBM2e against 16 GB GDDR6, 14x the memory bandwidth on the MI250, and Infinity Fabric 400 GB/s on the MI250 where the RTX 2000 Ada is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | MI250 | RTX 2000 Ada | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | No on-demand listings | -- /GPU/hr from $0.12 | |
| Reserved | -- /GPU/hr from $1.30 (12 mo) | On request |
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 MI250 and on-demand on the RTX 2000 Ada: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
