Performance Analysis
The H100 lists FP16 dense performance at 989 TFLOPS and FP16 with sparsity at 1979 TFLOPS. The same device lists FP8 dense at 1979 TFLOPS and FP8 with sparsity at 3958 TFLOPS along with FP32 at 67 TFLOPS. No corresponding tensor figures appear for the Gaudi 2. The bandwidth advantage of 3350 GB/s on the H100 over 2450 GB/s on the Gaudi 2 permits larger batch sizes during data movement. The 700 W TDP on the H100 versus 600 W on the Gaudi 2 sets different power budgets for sustained operation.

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the Gaudi 2 and the H100. 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.
