DeepSeek R1 — B300 vs H200 Performance per Dollar

Cost per million tokens of B300 (NVIDIA Blackwell) versus H200 (NVIDIA Hopper) on DeepSeek R1. Owning-hyperscaler TCO normalized by output tokens — performance per dollar across LLM workloads. Pick the more cost-efficient SKU at every target interactivity level. Use the chart controls below to switch sequences, precisions, and metrics — same interactions as the main inference chart.

Push DeepSeek R1 to 50 tok/s/user and B300 lands at $0.11 per million tokens against H200's $0.24 — B300 pulls ahead by 115%.

B300: $0.26 per million tokens. H200: $0.69. Both at 89 tok/s/user on DeepSeek R1, with B300 165% cheaper.

Toward the upper edge of the 12–167 tok/s/user interactivity band — at 128 tok/s/user — B300 runs $0.75 per million tokens on DeepSeek R1 while H200 runs $1.33. B300 is the cheaper choice by 77%.
