Head-to-head AI inference benchmark comparison of MI325X (AMD CDNA 3) and MI355X (AMD CDNA 4) on Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B. Latency, throughput, and cost across LLM workloads. 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 hits 36933 tok/s/chip for $0.01 per million tokens at 79 tok/s/user on Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B. No MI325X data at this operating point.
MI355X: 20063 tok/s/chip, $0.02 per million tokens at 134 tok/s/user on Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B. MI325X is unmeasured here.
At 189 tok/s/user on Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B, MI355X delivers 10353 tok/s/chip at $0.04 per million tokens; MI325X hasn't been benchmarked at this target.

Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate cost per million tokens per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct token cost comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate input throughput per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct input throughput comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.

1 The ATOM engine is promising, however it has yet to serve production tokens. It is still in its infant stage.
