AMD MI300X
vs
Nvidia RTX 3050
A data center GPU against a consumer card, one CDNA 3 and one Ampere: 192 GB HBM3 against 8 GB GDDR6, 24x the memory bandwidth on the MI300X, and Infinity Fabric 896 GB/s on the MI300X 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 | MI300X | RTX 3050 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $2.91 /GPU/hr from $2.39 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.07 | |
| Reserved | $3.39 /GPU/hr from $1.61 (12 mo) | No reserved listings | |
| Spot | -- /GPU/hr from $1.60 | -- /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 spot on the MI300X and on-demand 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.
