Verdict
The Hopper H200 SXM and Hopper H100 SXM5 target different priorities. The Hopper H200 SXM's 141GB of HBM3e gives it a clear edge for large-model inference where fitting the full model in VRAM eliminates quantization overhead. Both GPUs use CUDA, so ecosystem switching cost is not a factor. Use our TCO Calculator to model the full 3-year cost difference for your specific utilization and power costs.
Hopper H200 SXM vs Hopper H100 SXM5: Common Questions
Which is faster, Hopper H200 SXM or Hopper H100 SXM5?+
In FP8 throughput, the Hopper H100 SXM5 leads with 3,958 TFLOPS vs 3,958 TFLOPS. For LLM inference, memory capacity and bandwidth often matter more than raw TFLOPS — the Hopper H200 SXM has more VRAM (141GB).
Is Hopper H200 SXM or Hopper H100 SXM5 better for LLM training?+
For LLM training at scale, the Hopper H100 SXM5 has higher raw throughput. However, the choice also depends on your software stack: Hopper H200 SXM offers CUDA compatibility with the widest framework support (PyTorch, JAX, TensorRT).
What is the price difference between Hopper H200 SXM and Hopper H100 SXM5?+
The Hopper H200 SXM is estimated at $30,000 per unit and the Hopper H100 SXM5 at $25,000. Actual pricing varies by vendor, volume, and configuration. Check our Buy page for current reseller pricing.
Which GPU is more power efficient, Hopper H200 SXM or Hopper H100 SXM5?+
The Hopper H100 SXM5 has a lower TDP (700W vs 700W). Performance-per-watt depends on your workload — for FP8 inference, divide TFLOPS by TDP: Hopper H200 SXM = 5.7 TFLOPS/W vs Hopper H100 SXM5 = 5.7 TFLOPS/W.
