FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both GPUs launched in 2024: the GB200 on Blackwell and the B100 on Blackwell.

Dense throughput for the GB200 against the B100: FP64 40 vs 30 TFLOPS, FP32 80 vs 60 TFLOPS, FP16 2,500 vs 1,750 TFLOPS, FP8 5,000 vs 3,500 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.

Memory is 186 GB against 192 GB, fed at 8.0 TB/s versus 8.0 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.
