Kimi K3 2.8T — MI355X vs TPU7x Performance per Dollar

Cost per million tokens of MI355X (AMD CDNA 4) versus TPU7x (Google Ironwood) on Kimi K3 2.8T. Large-hyperscaler-volume ownership TCO normalized by total tokens — performance per dollar across LLM workloads. Pick the more cost-efficient SKU at every target interactivity level. Use the chart controls below to switch sequences, precisions, and metrics — same interactions as the main inference chart.

AgentX replays real coding-agent sessions rather than fixed-length prompts, so context grows turn over turn and most of each request is served from cache instead of being recomputed. That turns the comparison into a systems question: KV transfer between nodes, prefix-aware routing, and cache capacity all move the curve alongside raw chip throughput. Fixed-sequence workloads stay the clean baseline for kernel and silicon performance, so the two scenarios answer different questions about the same hardware. Learn more about AgentX →

MI355X: $0.05 per million tokens. TPU7x: $0.05. Both at 62 tok/s/user on Kimi K3 2.8T, with TPU7x 6% cheaper.

Around the middle of the 26–172 tok/s/user interactivity band — at 99 tok/s/user — MI355X runs $0.08 per million tokens on Kimi K3 2.8T while TPU7x runs $0.06. TPU7x is the cheaper choice by 24%.

On Kimi K3 2.8T at 136 tok/s/user, the per-million math comes out to $0.24 for MI355X and $0.09 for TPU7x; TPU7x delivers 176% more total tokens per dollar.
