TCO per million tokens
SemiAnalysis's line chart drew 21.9K views on X: 0.4x its typical post and #33 of 33 SemiAnalysis charts we track by views. Read Oct 10, 2026.
On FP8 Disaggregated Serving, MI355 beats B200 on both raw tok/s/gpu and cost per million tokens. On the image below, u can see that not only does MI355 beat B200, over time the gap between MI355 & B200 widens due to MI355's fast software p
Why it spread
It spread because an independent author with a big source reach posted a clear line chart showing cost per million total tokens over time, and the post claimed MI355 beats B200 on both raw tokens per second per GPU and cost per million tokens, drawing 196 likes, 13 reposts, 6 quotes, 49 saves and 21,893 views.
What worked
- The post pairs a specific competitive claim with a line chart of cost per million total tokens over time, so the visual directly supports the argument.
- The framing is comparative and forward looking, saying the gap widens over time due to fast software progression for fp8, which gives readers a reason to save and revisit it.
- It comes from an independent author with a big source reach, and the quote rate is above average, so the claim travels through discussion rather than only passive views.
What to borrow
We could use the same form by plotting our own cost per million total tokens over time for competing options, then annotate the crossover or widening gap and state plainly which option wins on both raw throughput and cost.
Careful
Do not copy the confident winner claim without our own evidence, and do not over read the engagement as proof the technical claim is correct, since the numbers here describe reach and reaction, not independent verification.
