Performance Analysis

The MI300X variant delivers 1307.4 TFLOPS in dense FP16 while the H200 NVL variant reaches 989 TFLOPS in dense FP16 so the MI300X variant processes larger matrix operations per second during training workloads. In sparse FP16 the MI300X variant achieves 2614.9 TFLOPS against the H200 NVL variant at 1979 TFLOPS allowing the MI300X variant to accelerate pruned models more effectively. Memory bandwidth stands at 5300 GB/s for the MI300X variant compared with 4800 GB/s for the H200 NVL variant which permits the MI300X variant to sustain larger batch sizes in memory bound inference tasks. The MI300X variant also records 163.4 TFLOPS in FP32 against 67 TFLOPS for the H200 NVL variant giving it an advantage in precision sensitive scientific kernels.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the H200 NVL and the MI300X. 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.
