GH200 vs RTX A2000

Specifications and current cloud pricing, side by side.

HoppervsAmpereUpdated 34 days ago

The GH200 serves as the stronger choice for the most common high intensity use cases because its 989 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 96 GB VRAM deliver capacity far beyond the 8 TFLOPS FP32 and 6 to 12 GB VRAM of the RTX A2000.

Performance Analysis

Dense FP16 performance reaches 989 TFLOPS on the GH200 while the RTX A2000 lists only a sparsity figure of 63.9 TFLOPS. This distinction means the GH200 supports greater scale in training and inference when dense FP16 operations are required. Memory bandwidth at 4000 GB/s on the GH200 compared with 288 GB/s on the RTX A2000 permits larger batch sizes in memory intensive workloads.
