They all bin their chips after testing. 355x is 35% faster than 300x and uses almost 2x more power.

But 355 has fp4/6 added in, which until udma comes out, likely won’t get emulated.

It is fine if you dont need the features of newer hardware, but if you do… then desktop won’t help you.



Your comment does not make much sense to me. The 355x and 300x are two different chips, not binned versions of one another. The RTX PRO 6000 has fp4/fp6 support too, so there is no need to use datacenter exclusive hardware to get that.


I wasn’t referring to them being binned to each other. Oh nice, I didn’t know that about the 6k.


The consumer 50 series GPUs also have FP4/FP6 support. Nvidia talks about it a little here:

FP4 is given a full page advertising it while FP6 support in “RTX Blackwell” is a footnote.
