H200 and B200 are both datacenter GPUs, but a purchase is normally an OEM server configuration rather than an interchangeable GPU module. Start with the workload, the server platform, and the facility that will run it.
Hardware that changes the decision
| HGX specification | H200 SXM | B200 SXM |
|---|---|---|
| Memory per GPU | 141 GB HBM3e | 180 GB HBM3e |
| Memory in an eight-GPU node | 1.128 TB | 1.44 TB |
| Memory bandwidth per GPU | 4.8 TB/s | Up to 8 TB/s |
| GPU interconnect | Fourth-generation NVLink | Fifth-generation NVLink |
These figures come from NVIDIA's HGX reference architecture. B200 also supports FP4 through its Blackwell Transformer Engine. That can be valuable for inference workloads that run at that precision. It does not establish a universal speedup or cost-per-token figure. Ask for a benchmark on your model and software stack.
Practical choice
Choose an H200 system when you need to extend an existing Hopper deployment, your workload fits comfortably in 141 GB per GPU, or the available H200 server fits your rack and support requirements.
Evaluate B200 when 180 GB per GPU helps your model, FP4 is relevant to your inference stack, or the newer interconnect matters for a multi-GPU job. Confirm the OEM chassis, CPU, memory, network adapters, and software support before comparing quotes.
Both products have air- and liquid-cooled OEM system options. Cooling cannot be decided from the GPU name alone. Ask for the exact server model and its facility requirements.
Price and delivery
Current H200 and B200 prices and lead times depend on server configuration, quantity, destination, support, and allocation. Compare complete delivered systems, including networking, warranty, freight, and any facility work.
Send the GPU count, workload, delivery location, target date, and preferred server vendor. We will return the available configuration, current price, lead time, and warranty terms in writing.
