GPU comparison · Blackwell vs Blackwell Ultra
NVIDIA B200 vs B300.
Same Blackwell design and NVLink 5; the B300 (Blackwell Ultra) raises memory from 180 GB to 288 GB per GPU and FP4 throughput by half, and gives up almost all FP64. It costs $580 more per GPU per month, but less per GB of memory.

- You need FP64: 37 TFLOPS on the B200 against 1.25 on the B300.
- You want the lower monthly price: $3,439 per GPU against $4,019.
Choose the B300 if
- You need 288 GB per GPU: 2.3 TB in an 8-GPU server for the largest open models and long contexts.
- You run FP4 inference: 13.5 PFLOPS dense per GPU against 9.
- You want the lowest price per GB of HBM: $13.95 against $19.11 a month.

B200 vs B300 FAQ.
More on each GPU: NVIDIA B200 · NVIDIA B300.
Is the B300 faster than the B200?
For FP4 it has 1.5× the dense throughput. NVIDIA lists the same dense FP8 and BF16 rates and the same 8 TB/s bandwidth for both, so the B300 mostly wins through its larger memory and FP4.
Which one for FP64 simulation?
The B200. Blackwell Ultra drops most FP64 hardware: 1.25 TFLOPS against 37 on the B200. For heavy FP64, look at the AMD MI355X or the H200.
What fits in an 8× B300 server?
2,304 GB of GPU memory: by our rule of thumb, a 671B model in BF16 or a 1T-parameter model in FP8 fits in one server.
