DeepSeek R1 — B300 vs H200
Head-to-head AI inference benchmark comparison of B300 (NVIDIA Blackwell) and H200 (NVIDIA Hopper) on DeepSeek R1. Latency, throughput, and cost across LLM workloads. Use the chart controls below to switch sequences, precisions, and metrics — same interactions as the main inference chart.
Setting 50 tok/s/user as the target on DeepSeek R1, B300 produces 5852 tok/s/chip ($0.11 per million tokens) and H200 produces 1591 ($0.21). B300 is 99% cheaper per token; B300 delivers 268% more tok/s/chip.
At 89 tok/s/user interactivity on DeepSeek R1, B300 delivers 2298 tok/s/chip at $0.27 per million tokens; H200 delivers 569 tok/s/chip at $0.60. B300 is 118% cheaper per token; B300 delivers 304% more tok/s/chip at this point.
B300 posts 992 tok/s/chip for $0.63 per million tokens at 128 tok/s/user on DeepSeek R1; H200 posts 292 tok/s/chip for $1.16. B300 is 83% cheaper per token; B300 delivers 240% more tok/s/chip.

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