Performance Analysis
The FP16 dense rating reaches 2250 TFLOPS on the B300 against 18.7 TFLOPS on the P100. This gap means training workloads that rely on dense FP16 operations complete far more matrix multiplications per second on the newer GPU. The FP32 figure of 75 TFLOPS on the B300 versus 9.3 TFLOPS on the P100 further widens the advantage for mixed precision scientific kernels. Memory bandwidth of 8000 GB/s on the B300 compared with 732 GB/s on the P100 permits substantially larger batch sizes before data movement becomes the limiter. When sparsity is enabled the B300 FP16 rating of 4500 TFLOPS still exceeds the P100 dense FP16 rating of 18.7 TFLOPS by a wide margin.

When to Choose the B300
The B300 suits large scale LLM training sessions that require 2250 TFLOPS FP16 dense throughput and 262 GB to 288 GB VRAM capacity.
When to Choose the P100
The P100 fits power constrained environments limited to 250W TDP or legacy systems that only support SXM2 and PCIe 3.0 interconnect. Tasks that need only 9.3 TFLOPS FP32 and 18.7 TFLOPS FP16 dense remain viable on this GPU without requiring newer platform upgrades.
Use Cases
The B300 supplies 2250 TFLOPS FP16 dense performance and 262 GB to 288 GB VRAM that exceed the P100 18.7 TFLOPS FP16 dense rating.
FP8 dense performance of 4500 TFLOPS on the B300 supports higher throughput than the P100 can achieve with its published FP16 dense rating of 18.7 TFLOPS.
The B300 memory bandwidth of 8000 GB/s allows larger batch sizes during fine tuning compared with the P100 bandwidth of 732 GB/s.
The B300 FP16 dense rating of 2250 TFLOPS accelerates diffusion model steps beyond the P100 FP16 dense rating of 18.7 TFLOPS.
The P100 9.3 TFLOPS FP32 rating suffices for modest workloads while the B300 75 TFLOPS FP32 rating handles larger simulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What FP16 dense performance does the B300 provide versus the P100?▾
The B300 lists 2250 TFLOPS FP16 dense while the P100 lists 18.7 TFLOPS FP16 dense. This difference arises from the Blackwell Ultra architecture versus the Pascal architecture.
What TDP values are specified for the B300 and P100?▾
The B300 carries a 1400W TDP rating and the P100 carries a 250W TDP rating. Power delivery infrastructure must accommodate the higher figure on the B300.
Which interconnect options appear on each card?▾
The B300 supports NVLink together with PCIe 6.0 and InfiniBand while the P100 supports NVLink together with PCIe 3.0.
What FP32 performance is published for both GPUs?▾
The B300 publishes 75 TFLOPS FP32 and the P100 publishes 9.3 TFLOPS FP32. These figures apply to dense operations in both cases.
Which is cheaper to rent, the B300 or the P100?▾

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the B300 and the P100. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
- Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
- The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
