Verdict
AMD Instinct MI210
7.3 / 10 Expert Rating
A practical, PCIe-slot-friendly way to get CDNA 2 compute into a standard server, useful for smaller HPC and AI deployments, but clearly the entry point of its generation next to the dual-die MI250X and now well behind the MI300 series.
Apple M2 Max 30-Core GPU
7.3 / 10 Expert Rating
A sensible mid-tier pick that keeps the M2 Max's full memory bandwidth while trimming GPU core count, best suited to memory-heavy rather than pure shader-bound work.
