What actually differs
The C600 is the newer part: Colossus MK2, launched in 2022, against the GC200's Colossus MK2 from 2020. 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 C600 against the GC200: FP16 280 vs 250 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.
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.
