As AWS puts it, the new processor is twice as fast as its predecessor and is four times more efficient. This makes it one of the best solutions for AI training and inference in terms of cost. In absolute numbers, Trainium3 offers up to 2,517 MXFP8 TFLOPS, which is nearly two times lower compared to Nvidia’s Blackwell Ultra. However, AWS’s Trn3 UltraServer packs 144 Trainium3 chips per rack,…
