Performance Analysis

The B300 delivers 2250 TFLOPS dense FP16 performance while the Quadro P5000 does not publish an FP16 figure. The B300 also provides 75 TFLOPS FP32 performance which exceeds the Quadro P5000 value of 8.9 TFLOPS FP32 by a factor of more than eight. This FP16 to FP32 ratio on the B300 supports accelerated training and inference steps when dense FP16 operations replace FP32 calculations. Memory bandwidth on the B300 reaches 8000 GB/s compared with 288 GB/s on the Quadro P5000 which permits substantially larger batch sizes during model execution. The B300 further lists 4500 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity and 9000 TFLOPS FP8 with sparsity while the Quadro P5000 provides no corresponding figures.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the B300 and the Quadro P5000. 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.
