Performance Analysis
The B300 delivers 2250 TFLOPS in dense FP16 compared to 40.3 TFLOPS in dense FP16 on the RTX 2080 which means the B300 supports substantially larger model training and inference operations at equivalent precision levels. The B300 also provides 75 TFLOPS in FP32 while the RTX 2080 provides 10 TFLOPS in FP32 indicating greater capacity for general purpose computations on the B300. Memory bandwidth of 8000 GB/s on the B300 versus 448 GB/s on the RTX 2080 allows the B300 to sustain larger batch sizes during processing without data transfer bottlenecks. When comparing like figures the B300 reaches 4500 TFLOPS in FP16 with sparsity against the RTX 2080 dense FP16 figure of 40.3 TFLOPS and the B300 reaches 375 TOPS in INT8 with sparsity against the RTX 2080 dense INT8 figure of 161.1 TOPS.
