What actually differs
The TPU v5p is the newer part: TPU v5p, launched in 2023, against the H100's Hopper from 2022. Newer architectures typically add lower-precision formats and better throughput per watt, so check the precision rows your workload actually uses.
Dense throughput for the TPU v5p against the H100: FP8 459 vs 1,513 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.
Memory is 95 GB against 80 GB, fed at 2.8 TB/s versus 2.0 TB/s. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.
For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
Frequently asked questions
Is the TPU v5p faster than the H100?
At FP8 precision the H100 reaches 1,513 TFLOPS dense against 459 TFLOPS for the TPU v5p. The performance table on this page lists every published precision for both GPUs.
Which has more memory, the TPU v5p or the H100?
The TPU v5p carries 95 GB of memory versus 80 GB for the H100. Memory bandwidth is 2.8 TB/s for the TPU v5p and 2.0 TB/s for the H100.
