FLOPS by Precision
What actually differs
Memory is 48 GB against 256 GB, fed at 696 GB/s versus 1.1 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.
