NVIDIA H200 GPU offers cost advantages over H100 for memory-bound AI tasks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The NVIDIA H200 GPU offers improved memory bandwidth compared to the H100, making it more efficient for memory-bound tasks like LLM inference. While the H200's compute power is similar to the H100, its higher memory throughput (4.8 TB/s vs. 3.35 TB/s) can lead to cost savings per token, especially at providers like Together AI where it costs less than 1.43 times the H100. The upcoming Nvidia B200 GPU is projected to outperform both the H100 and H200 across all metrics and providers. AI

IMPACT The H200's memory bandwidth advantage could lead to more cost-effective LLM inference, while the upcoming B200 promises significant performance gains.

    Priced per TB/s, the H200 beats the H100 at 6 of 7 providers

    <p>An H200 has exactly as much compute as an SXM H100 and usually rents for more, so on a FLOPS spreadsheet it never makes sense. The H200 vs H100 cost per token question turns on a different column: the H200 moves 4.8 TB/s out of memory against the H100's 3.35, and decode spends…
