AMD Instinct MI210 vs Intel Arc A570M: Comparison
AMD Instinct MI210 vs Intel Arc A570M tdp compared
The gap that matters here is tdp: AMD Instinct MI210 300 W against Intel Arc A570M 95 W, which puts Intel Arc A570M 216% ahead. Vram runs the same way, 64 GB on the AMD Instinct MI210 versus 8 GB on the Intel Arc A570M, another win for AMD Instinct MI210. Memory bandwidth runs the same way, 1600 GB/s on the AMD Instinct MI210 versus 256 GB/s on the Intel Arc A570M, another win for AMD Instinct MI210. AMD Instinct MI210 also leads on memory bus width, 4096 bit on the AMD Instinct MI210 versus 128 bit on the Intel Arc A570M. AMD Instinct MI210 also leads on boost clock, 1700 MHz on the AMD Instinct MI210 versus 1300 MHz on the Intel Arc A570M.
Which should you buy, AMD Instinct MI210 or Intel Arc A570M?
The AMD Instinct MI210 is the one to take for double-precision workloads that don't need MI250X-level throughput, though it is not the pick for any desktop or workstation build - compute-only, no display output and maximum-throughput HPC nodes (use MI250X instead). It also earns its place with HPC and AI deployments in standard PCIe-slot servers without OAM sled support. Our rating of the AMD Instinct MI210 (7.3/10): 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.
