This marks AMD's first Instinct-series PCIe card in nearly five years, with the previous one being the MI210 back in 2022.

Simply put, the MI350P takes the flagship MI350X, cuts it in half, and fits it into a standard dual-slot PCIe card. It packs 128 compute units, 144GB of HBM3E memory, 4TB/s bandwidth, and a 600W TDP with air cooling—so it can plug directly into your existing rack servers without swapping out entire systems or retrofitting your data center.

This might sound like a minor tweak, but the market signal behind it is unmistakable: AMD is finally circling back to serve enterprises that can't afford a full rack of GPU clusters.
