What is the NVIDIA B200?

The B200 is a GPU from NVIDIA on the Blackwell architecture, an accelerator for AI training, inference and high-performance computing. It is an SXM module, the mezzanine format used in dense multi-GPU servers. B200 full specifications →

Can I rent the B200 in the cloud?

Yes. Cloud providers tracked by Flopper rent the B200 by the hour, and the pricing page compares their current rates and the price history side by side. B200 rental prices →

How does the B200 compare with other accelerators?

This page sets the B200 against the H200. Both parts launched in the same year. Both are NVIDIA parts, and both ship as an SXM module, so they fit the same class of system. Flopper also compares it head to head with the A100 SXM4 80GB, B100 SXM 192GB and B300 SXM 262GB, across every published precision, memory and power. B200 vs A100 SXM4 80GB →

Figures are dense. Where a vendor publishes a figure it sits under the dense one and never decides a winner. Hover any precision for its definition, or read the GPU glossary.

FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both launched in 2024, the B200 on Blackwell and the H200 on Hopper.

The B200 carries 39 GB more memory (180 GB against 141 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 7.7 TB/s against 4.8 TB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 1.0 kW against 700 W, and at FP32 the H200 does more work per watt. Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.

New to the terms? The glossary explains FP64, FP32, TF32, BF16, FP16, FP8, FP4, INT8, Sparsity and TFLOPS. For how the generations relate, see NVIDIA architectures explained.

Frequently asked questions

What is better, the B200 or the H200?

The B200, on throughput. At FP8 precision the B200 reaches 4,500 TFLOPS dense against 1,979 TFLOPS for the H200. The performance table on this page lists every published precision for both GPUs.

Which should you choose, the B200 or the H200?

Choose the B200 for training and high-throughput inference: it has 2.3x the FP8 throughput of the H200. It also carries 39 GB more memory, so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. The B200 draws 300 W more power, so budget for cooling and power delivery before you commit.

Which has more memory, the B200 or the H200?

The B200 carries 180 GB of memory versus 141 GB for the H200. Memory bandwidth is 7.7 TB/s for the B200 and 4.8 TB/s for the H200.

How much power do the B200 and the H200 draw?

The B200 is rated at 1.0 kW TDP and the H200 at 700 W. On FP32 throughput per watt, the H200 is the more efficient part.

How much do the B200 and the H200 cost to rent?

Live cloud listings tracked by Flopper price the B200 from $3.74 per GPU-hour across 24 providers, and the H200 from $2.09 per GPU-hour across 30 providers. The rental section on this page links to every provider, rate and the price history for each GPU.
