What actually differs
The Wormhole is the newer part: Wormhole, launched in 2024, against the GeForce RTX 4090's Ada Lovelace from 2022. 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 Wormhole against the GeForce RTX 4090: FP16 74 vs 165 TFLOPS, FP8 262 vs 330 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.
Memory is 12 GB against 24 GB, fed at 288 GB/s versus 1.0 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.
