Performance Analysis
Dense FP16 throughput measures 989 TFLOPS on the H200 and 383 TFLOPS on the MI250X. This gap means the H200 can process larger matrix operations per second during training runs that rely on dense FP16 arithmetic. The MI250X delivers 383 TOPS in dense INT8 while the H200 reaches 1979 TOPS in dense INT8. Memory bandwidth of 4800 GB/s on the H200 versus 3277 GB/s on the MI250X allows the H200 to sustain larger batch sizes before memory stalls occur. FP32 figures of 67 TFLOPS and 47.9 TFLOPS indicate the H200 maintains an advantage in workloads that stay in single precision.

When to Choose the H200
The H200 suits scenarios that require 141 GB of VRAM and 4800 GB/s bandwidth together with 989 TFLOPS dense FP16. Users select it when dense FP16 or dense FP8 workloads exceed the 383 TFLOPS limit of the MI250X.
When to Choose the MI250X
The MI250X fits deployments where 560W TDP matters more than peak throughput. Its 128 GB VRAM and 3277 GB/s bandwidth remain adequate for workloads that stay below the 383 TFLOPS dense FP16 ceiling.
Use Cases
The H200 supplies 989 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 141 GB VRAM while the MI250X supplies only 383 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 128 GB VRAM.
Dense FP16 performance of 989 TFLOPS on the H200 supports higher token throughput than the 383 TFLOPS dense FP16 on the MI250X.
The 4800 GB/s bandwidth and 141 GB capacity of the H200 accommodate larger fine tuning batches than the 3277 GB/s and 128 GB of the MI250X.
Both cards handle the workload yet the H200 67 TFLOPS FP32 exceeds the MI250X 47.9 TFLOPS FP32.
FP32 throughput of 67 TFLOPS on the H200 surpasses the 47.9 TFLOPS FP32 rating of the MI250X.
