Research / Comparison

Compare the same category.

Manufacturer references with consistent units and explicit variant boundaries. A component is not a rack; arithmetic peaks are not model benchmarks.

Original Aguasto conceptual illustration. Not manufacturer geometry, an operating Aguasto asset, or a measured benchmark.

Compare up to three references within one product category. Manufacturer peak figures can use different precisions and sparsity assumptions; they are not measured tokens per second.

Single-accelerator references only. Capacity, bandwidth and power retain each source's product boundary. These are not Aguasto inventory or benchmark results.

Specification caveats

The headline fields select the SXM variant. H100 NVL has a different capacity, power range and form factor.

Manufacturer peak Tensor Core throughput values may include structured sparsity; do not treat them as measured tokens per second.

NVIDIA retains a preliminary/specifications-may-change footnote on this page; preserve that qualification.

Headline power selects SXM. NVL has a different published power limit.

Engineering considerations

Reserve accelerator memory for KV cache, activations and serving overhead in addition to model weights.

Check server topology and collective communication behavior before choosing tensor or pipeline parallelism.

Larger GPU memory can accommodate more weights or cache, but capacity alone does not establish latency or concurrency.

Confirm the serving framework, GPU driver and selected model format together.
