The NVIDIA B200 is the flagship Blackwell datacenter GPU, delivering 180 GB of HBM3e and 2,250 TFLOPS of FP16 compute — roughly 2.3x the compute of an H100 at over twice the VRAM. Its new fourth-generation Tensor Cores add FP4 support, enabling up to 4,500 TOPS for FP4 inference, and the Blackwell architecture introduces a second-generation Transformer Engine. A single B200 can serve 70B models at FP16 with headroom for large batch sizes and long context windows, making it suitable for high-throughput production inference. At approximately 1,000W TDP, it targets next-generation liquid-cooled infrastructure.

Architecture
Blackwell is NVIDIA's fifth-generation RTX architecture, built on TSMC's 4NP process. It introduces 5th-generation Tensor Cores with native FP4 precision support, enabling double the inference throughput per watt compared to Ada Lovelace's FP8 operations. Key innovations include the Neural Rendering Pipeline for AI-driven shading and the debut of GDDR7 memory in consumer GPUs.
AI Relevance
FP4 Tensor Cores deliver the highest tokens-per-watt efficiency in any consumer architecture. Native FP4 quantization means models can run at lower precision with minimal quality loss, effectively doubling the effective VRAM for model weights.
