Performance Notes

On ThunderCompute, expect NVIDIA H100 PCIe to deliver flagship Hopper performance: up to 4x faster LLM inference and 9x AI training throughput vs. A100, with 80GB VRAM handling massive models like GPT-3 scale. PCIe interface suits single-GPU or basic multi-GPU configs, but lacks SXM's NVLink for ultra-tight scaling—fine for most dev workloads. Network bandwidth and storage options are not publicly detailed; assume standard 100Gbps+ interconnects and NVMe SSDs typical for GPU clouds. Multi-GPU scaling via PCIe pooling is supported but unbenchmarked here—test for your topology. Known strengths: excellent single-instance FP8/FP16 tensor perf. Limitations: PCIe may bottleneck all-reduce in large distributed jobs vs. HGX systems.
