Summary
About the AMD Radeon Instinct MI8 GPU
The AMD Radeon Instinct MI8 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q4 2016. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Fiji) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The Instinct MI8 has 4 GB of HBM memory, with a 500 MHz memory clock and a 4,096 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 512 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Instinct MI8 includes 4,096 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,000 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 256 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The Instinct MI8 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 175 W.
