FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The Ascend 910C is the newer part: Da Vinci v2 (dual-die) (2025) against the H100's Hopper (2023).

The Ascend 910C carries 34 GB more memory (128 GB against 94 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 3.2 TB/s against 3.9 TB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 600 W against 400 W, and at FP32 the H100 does more work per watt. Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.
