MiniMax M3 428B — H100 vs H200 Performance per Dollar
Cost per million tokens of H100 (NVIDIA Hopper) versus H200 (NVIDIA Hopper) on MiniMax M3 428B. Large-hyperscaler-volume ownership TCO normalized by total 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.
AgentX replays real coding-agent sessions rather than fixed-length prompts, so context grows turn over turn and most of each request is served from cache instead of being recomputed. That turns the comparison into a systems question: KV transfer between nodes, prefix-aware routing, and cache capacity all move the curve alongside raw chip throughput. Fixed-sequence workloads stay the clean baseline for kernel and silicon performance, so the two scenarios answer different questions about the same hardware. Learn more about AgentX →
Near the low end of the 2–55 tok/s/user interactivity band — at 15 tok/s/user — H100 runs $0.53 per million tokens on MiniMax M3 428B while H200 runs $0.08. H200 is the cheaper choice by 596%.
On MiniMax M3 428B at 29 tok/s/user, the per-million math comes out to $0.56 for H100 and $0.09 for H200; H200 delivers 495% more total tokens per dollar.
At 42 tok/s/user on MiniMax M3 428B, H100 costs $0.56 per million tokens; H200 costs $0.24. H200 is 139% more cost-efficient at this operating point.

Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate cost per million tokens per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct token cost comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.
