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.
Intel Arc Pro B70
6.8 / 10 Expert Rating
A strong VRAM-per-dollar workstation option for Intel's growing pro lineup, held back mainly by CUDA-less software compatibility for AI workloads.
