Performance Analysis

Raw compute performance matches exactly between the GH200 and H200: 1979 TFLOPS FP16 suits mixed-precision training, 3958 TFLOPS FP8 accelerates inference, and 67 TFLOPS FP32 handles general compute. This parity means similar FLOPS throughput for most deep learning tasks.

Memory capacity creates practical advantages for H200: 141 GB HBM3e versus 96 GB HBM3 enables training or inference on larger language models without excessive multi-GPU scaling. Higher 4800 GB/s bandwidth over 4000 GB/s minimizes stalls in memory-bound scenarios, supporting bigger batch sizes and faster token generation rates.

Efficiency tilts toward H200 with 700W TDP compared to 900W, allowing denser server configurations. GH200's NVLink-C2C interconnect excels in CPU-GPU unified workloads like simulations.
