History
Predecessor

The Radeon Instinct product line directly competes with Nvidia's Tesla and Intel's Xeon Phi and Data Center GPU lines of machine learning and GPGPU cards.

Before MI100's introduction in November 2020, the instinct family was known as AMD Radeon Instinct, AMD dropped the Radeon brand from its name.

Supercomputers based on Epyc CPUs and Instinct GPUs now take the lead on the Green500 supercomputer list with over 50% lead over any other, and top the first 4 spots, including the second, which is the current fastest in the world on the TOP500 list, Frontier.
