FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both launched in 2022, the BR100 on Biren SPC and the H100 on Hopper.

The H100 carries 16 GB more memory (80 GB against 64 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 1.6 TB/s against 3.4 TB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 550 W against 700 W, and at FP32 the BR100 does more work per watt. Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.

Frequently asked questions

Is the BR100 faster than the H100?

At BF16 precision the BR100 reaches 1,024 TFLOPS dense against 990 TFLOPS for the H100. The performance table on this page lists every published precision for both GPUs.

Which should you choose, the BR100 or the H100?

Choose the BR100 for training and high-throughput inference: it has 3% more BF16 throughput than the H100. Choose the H100 when the model has to fit on one GPU: it carries 16 GB more memory. The BR100 draws 150 W less power, which matters in an air-cooled or power-capped rack. Packaging differs too: the BR100 is an OAM module while the H100 is an SXM module, so check what your servers accept.

Which has more memory, the BR100 or the H100?

The H100 carries 80 GB of memory versus 64 GB for the BR100. Memory bandwidth is 1.6 TB/s for the BR100 and 3.4 TB/s for the H100.

How much power do the BR100 and the H100 draw?

The BR100 is rated at 550 W TDP and the H100 at 700 W. On FP32 throughput per watt, the BR100 is the more efficient part.
