GPU comparison

B200 vs GH200.

The B200 is ahead on memory (180 GB vs 96 GB) and speed (2.3x the FP16 throughput and at least 2.0x the memory bandwidth). The GH200 makes sense when your model fits in 96 GB and its hourly price is lower.

Rent either on Runcrate

Live hourly price, then per GB of memory and per 100 FP16 TFLOPS.

Which is better for

Which to pick for each job. Memory fit and throughput, from the datasheets.

  • Hold a 70B model in 8-bit weights

    70 GB of 8-bit weights

    B200: 1 GPU, 110 GB spare

    GH200: 1 GPU, 26 GB spare

    B200. Same GPU count, at least 2.0x the memory bandwidth.

  • Serve an 8B model in 16-bit weights

    16 GB of 16-bit weights

    B200: 1 GPU, 164 GB spare

    GH200: 1 GPU, 80 GB spare

    B200. Same GPU count, at least 2.0x the memory bandwidth.

  • Fine-tune a 70B model with QLoRA

    About 46 GB with 4-bit weights

    B200: 1 GPU, 134 GB spare

    GH200: 1 GPU, 50 GB spare

    B200. Same GPU count, 2.3x the FP16 throughput.

  • Train on a full node

    FP16 tensor throughput per node

    B200: 8x, 18,000 TFLOPS, NVLink

    GH200: 1x, 990 TFLOPS

    B200. 8 GPUs per node, not 1.

  • Throughput per watt

    FP16 TFLOPS per 100 W of TDP

    B200: 225 TFLOPS per 100 W

    GH200: Superchip power, not a GPU TDP

    Either. Not comparable.
