News Nvidia publishes first Blackwell B200 MLPerf results: Up to 4X faster than its H100 predecessor, when using FP4

[Admin]

Nvidia's Blackwell can deliver 3.7X – 4X higher performance than Hopper H100 processors in generative AI inferencing, according to Nvidia. That's using FP4 vs. FP8 and comparing a single B200 to four H100 GPUs as well.

Very good!
There was some release a few weeks ago where NVIdia was claiming more like 30x faster for the overall calculation - based on FP4! That's if you could convert all your FP8, FP16, and FP32 to FP4. Which you can't.

News Flash!!! Two chips at fp4 four times as fast as one chip at fp8!!! (Think to himself “isn’t that EXACTLY the same amount of processing power per chip?”)

Ok, good gen on gen performance leap in theory would be attained, but can we have something budget and good performing in consumer market now?

Already have lots of them in the market. For nvidia anything below $1500 is "budget" card.

Lol that's their definition of budget, I mean (sarcasm mode on) when will they dare separate the high margin coporate hype market vs the more civilian friending gaming offerings

Never Again!

They know Enterprise pays more, ALOT more.

We Gamers get the left-overs / scraps.

Nvidia is a hot business now, chasing profit margins, revenue and earnings. I bet a wafer of these datacenter chips is way more profitable than anything retail buyers can afford. They have a huge order backlog on these, too. No rush to waste precious TSMC capacity on some low margin "hobby" stuff, when they can turn it to gold and print money.
