Hardware comparison / GPU versus GPU

H200 vs B200

Both are high-memory GPUs: 141 GB against 180 GB per GPU. The B200 uses the newer Blackwell architecture, so confirm that your software stack supports it before you compare prices.

Understand the hardware trade-offs before comparing provider configurations. This page compares GPU models, not cloud SKUs or availability.

What the hardware records show

  • H200 uses the Hopper architecture; B200 uses Blackwell.
  • Both are SXM GPUs.
  • B200 has 39 GB more memory per GPU (180 GB against 141 GB), 1.3× as much.
  • B200 has 1.7× the theoretical memory bandwidth (8,000 against 4,800 GB/s).

Hardware notes
H200 NVL is a distinct PCIe variant and is not merged with SXM.
Uses the NVIDIA HGX reference architecture specification. Provider claims of 192GB are not silently treated as the same SKU.

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.
