Performance Analysis

The GH200 lists FP16 dense performance at 989 TFLOPS while the Gaudi 2 leaves FP16 figures unpublished. Its FP32 rating stands at 67 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth of 4000 GB/s on the GH200 exceeds the 2450 GB/s on the Gaudi 2 by a ratio of 4000 to 2450 and therefore supports larger batch sizes during data movement. The 900W TDP of the GH200 versus the 600W TDP of the Gaudi 2 further differentiates sustained operation under identical VRAM capacity.

When to Choose the Gaudi 2

The Gaudi 2 fits environments where a 600W TDP must remain below the 900W TDP of the GH200. Its RoCE Ethernet and PCIe 4.0 interconnects align with existing Ethernet fabrics that do not require NVLink-C2C.

When to Choose the GH200

Its NVLink-C2C and PCIe 5.0 interconnects suit systems that already deploy those links.
