Level 1

The NVIDIA B200 is an AI GPU made by NVIDIA, codenamed Blackwell. Peak throughput is 2,250 TFLOPS at FP16/BF16 and 4,500 TFLOPS at FP8. It carries 192 GB of HBM3e with 8 TB/s of memory bandwidth. Rated power (TDP) is 1,000 W. It is built on N4P at TSMC.

Level 2

In the BenchGecko dataset it sits in the frontier tier: current-generation flagship silicon shipping at scale to hyperscalers. It follows the H200 and is followed by the B300. Disclosed buyers include Meta, Microsoft and Oracle. Specs come from manufacturer datasheets; the spec card on this page shows the dataset values and their as-of date.

Level 3

That is 2.25 FP16 TFLOPS per watt. Memory bandwidth per unit of compute is 3.56 GB/s per FP16 TFLOP: a higher ratio helps memory-bound inference, while peak TFLOPS matter more for compute-bound training. Fabrication: Taiwan. Real throughput depends on the model, precision, batch size and software stack, so compare tokens per second per dollar for your own workload.
