Performance Notes

Expect top-tier Hopper performance: up to 4P FLOPS FP8 for inference, 2P FP16 for training, excelling in LLMs up to 70B parameters on 80GB VRAM. Scaleway's GPU instances feature NVMe SSD storage (up to 15TB local) and 100-200Gbps networking, supporting efficient multi-GPU via NVLink or InfiniBand in Nabu clusters. PCIe variant offers solid single-node throughput but lower inter-GPU bandwidth than SXM (avoid for massive scaling without cluster). Benchmarks show H100 PCIe competitive for fine-tuning/inference; provider-specific results align with NVIDIA specs, though real-world varies by workload. No public Scaleway H100 PCIe benchmarks yet—test via short instances for your use case.
