GPU Model Comparison: H100 vs H200 vs B200 vs A100

Compare Datacenter GPU Specs, Performance & Pricing

1What It Measures

Technical specifications for datacenter GPUs including VRAM, memory bandwidth, FP16/FP8 TFLOPS, TDP, and interconnect speeds. Covers NVIDIA Hopper, Blackwell, Ampere, and AMD MI series.

2Why It Matters

GPU selection impacts training time, model size limits, and infrastructure costs. Understanding the performance/price tradeoffs between H100, H200, B200, and A100 is critical for capacity planning.

3How to Read It

Select GPUs to compare side-by-side. Higher TFLOPS = faster training. More VRAM = larger models. Memory bandwidth determines batch throughput. Consider TDP for power planning.
