Performance Analysis
Compute disparities define real-world capabilities: the B200 SXM delivers 4500 TFLOPS in FP16 for accelerated AI training, dwarfing the RTX 3060 Ti's 12.7 TFLOPS and enabling models with billions of parameters. Its FP32 performance of 90 TFLOPS suits precision simulations, compared to the RTX 3060 Ti's matched 12.7 TFLOPS in FP16 and FP32 that limits it to smaller datasets. FP8 at 9000 TFLOPS on the B200 optimizes low-precision inference for deployment at scale. Memory bandwidth of 8000 GB/s on the B200 supports massive batch sizes in training loops, preventing bottlenecks that plague the RTX 3060 Ti's 360 GB/s. The B200's 192 GB VRAM handles enormous models without swapping, while 12 GB on the RTX 3060 Ti restricts batch sizes to avoid out-of-memory errors. Power draw reflects this: 1000W TDP for the B200 versus 170W for the RTX 3060 Ti signals sustained high-throughput operations.
