DeepSeek R1 — H100 vs H200
Head-to-head AI inference benchmark comparison of H100 (NVIDIA Hopper) 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.
H100 / H200 on DeepSeek R1 at 45 tok/s/user: 739 / 1773 tok/s/chip, $0.44 / $0.19 per million tokens. H200 is 130% cheaper per token; H200 delivers 140% more tok/s/chip.
Around the middle of the 20–122 tok/s/user interactivity band, at 71 tok/s/user on DeepSeek R1: H100 runs 281 tok/s/chip at $1.16/M tokens, H200 runs 907 at $0.37/M. H200 is 210% cheaper per token; H200 delivers 223% more tok/s/chip.
Setting 97 tok/s/user as the target on DeepSeek R1, H100 produces 154 tok/s/chip ($2.11 per million tokens) and H200 produces 500 ($0.68). H200 is 211% cheaper per token; H200 delivers 224% 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.
