Hardware notes
NVIDIA describes bandwidth as over 2 TB/s; 2,000 GB/s is a rounded reference, not a benchmark.
H200 NVL is a distinct PCIe variant and is not merged with SXM.

More memory is useful when your workload needs it.

It does not by itself prove a lower monthly cost, higher tokens per second or a better result. Include model memory, context, batch size and measured performance in your decision.
