Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

What the numbers mean

Why memory is the number that matters here

Memory

141 GB

Bandwidth

4,890 GB/s

Largest model

Tencent Hy3 preview

With 141 GB of HBM3e, the H200 SXM 141 GB is in the class of hardware that holds the largest open-weight models without splitting them across machines. Roughly 126.9 GB of that is reachable by an inference runtime once the driver takes its share.

Its 4,890 GB/s across a 6,144-bit bus is at the top of what exists. Since each token means reading the whole model out of memory once, that translates almost directly into generation speed — this card is bandwidth-rich enough that model size stops being the limiting factor long before the bus does.

The figure is the memory clock — 1.59 GHz here — multiplied by the bus width. It is why core counts predict generation speed so poorly.

The practical ceiling is Tencent Hy3 preview at 295B, held at Q3_K_M and running at roughly 105 tokens per second.

The chip and how it was built

The H200 SXM 141 GB is built on the GH100 graphics processor, using NVIDIA's Hopper architecture, as part of the Server Hopper(Hxx) generation.

The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process, with a die measuring 814 mm², holding 80 billion transistors. A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.

It was released in November 2024, roughly 1 years ago. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.

Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks

267.6 TFLOPS

FP64

33.5 TFLOPS

Tensor cores

528

On paper the H200 SXM 141 GB reaches 267.6 TFLOPS at half precision and 66.9 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.

Double-precision throughput is 33.5 TFLOPS. It has no bearing on running a language model — no inference runtime uses it — but it separates datacentre parts from consumer ones, since the latter deliberately restrict it.

The card carries 528 tensor cores across 132 streaming multiprocessors. These accelerate the matrix arithmetic at the heart of a transformer, and they are what make prompt processing — reading a long document before answering — dramatically faster than it would otherwise be.

Clocks run from 1.5 GHz at base to 1.98 GHz boosted. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.

Cache and processing units

The H200 SXM 141 GB has 250 KB of L1 cache, backed by 50 MB of L2. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.

There are 16,896 shading units, 528 texture mapping units, and 24 render output units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.

Power, size and installation

Power draw

700 W

The H200 SXM 141 GB is rated at 700 W, with a 1,100 W power supply suggested for the whole system. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.

The board occupies a sxm module, and needs 8-pin EPS. Worth checking against the case and power supply already in the machine, since the largest cards need considerably more of both than a typical desktop provides.

It connects over PCIe 5.0 x16. The interface governs how quickly a model is loaded from disk into the card, not how fast it runs once there, so a narrower link costs a few seconds at startup and nothing thereafter.

Step by step

How to work out the tokens per second of a H200 SXM 141 GB

You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.

  1. 01

    Start with the model, not the specification

    All 628 models the H200 SXM 141 GB handles are already listed. The search box takes a name or a size such as 27b, which matches on parameter count.

  2. 02

    Set the context length you will actually use

    Drag the slider to the conversation length you plan to work at. The cache grows with the conversation, and on 141 GB it is often what pushes a large model over the edge.

  3. 03

    Pin the comparison to one quality level

    By default the table picks the least-compressed copy that fits. Setting a floor removes models that only qualify through heavy compression.

  4. 04

    Read the speed and the range

    Speeds come with error bars for a reason. The best case here is 2,071 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B, and which inference software you use moves that by thirty to fifty per cent.

  5. 05

    Check the headroom before you decide

    Compare what each model needs with the 141 GB this card provides. Tight means it works today; comfortable means it still works when the conversation grows.

  6. 06

    Open the model to compare cards

    Following a model through to its own page lists all the hardware that can run it, so you can see where the H200 SXM 141 GB sits against the alternatives.

Answers

H200 SXM 141 GB — common questions

01

How much cache does a H200 SXM 141 GB have?

The H200 SXM 141 GB has 250 KB of L1 cache, and 50 MB of L2 cache. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.

02

What are the TFLOPS of a H200 SXM 141 GB?

The H200 SXM 141 GB is rated at 267.6 TFLOPS at half precision and 66.9 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.

03

How many tensor cores does a H200 SXM 141 GB have?

The H200 SXM 141 GB has 528 tensor cores across 132 streaming multiprocessors. They accelerate the matrix arithmetic a transformer is built from, which mainly speeds up processing a long prompt rather than producing the reply.

04

Does the H200 SXM 141 GB support CUDA?

Yes. The H200 SXM 141 GB reports CUDA compute capability 9.0. Capability 7.0 and above has tensor cores, which modern inference software uses; below that it falls back to slower code paths for quantised models.

05

What bus interface does the H200 SXM 141 GB use?

It uses PCIe 5.0 x16. This governs how fast a model is loaded onto the card rather than how fast it runs once loaded, so it costs a few seconds at startup and nothing during generation.

06

Is the H200 SXM 141 GB good for running local AI models?

Its memory is large enough for models most desktop hardware cannot touch and its bandwidth puts it among the fastest hardware available for generation. In total it runs 628 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.

07

Can a H200 SXM 141 GB run a model that does not fit in its memory?

Offloading past the card's 141 GB is possible and usually a false economy: the system-memory portion is slow enough to dominate the result.

08

Would two H200 SXM 141 GB cards be twice as fast?

Pairing H200 SXM 141 GB cards buys headroom rather than pace: 282 GB of combined memory, at roughly the same generation speed as one.

09

What AI models can a H200 SXM 141 GB run?

628 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a H200 SXM 141 GB and can be run locally on it. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.

10

What is the largest AI model a H200 SXM 141 GB can run?

The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a H200 SXM 141 GB is Tencent Hy3 preview at 295B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 105 tokens per second and needs about 126.5 GB of the card's memory.

11

How many tokens per second does a H200 SXM 141 GB produce?

It depends on the model. On a H200 SXM 141 GB the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 2,071 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.

12

Can a H200 SXM 141 GB run a 7B model?

Yes. For example a H200 SXM 141 GB runs Multi-Token Prediction 7B at Q8_0, using about 7.9 GB of memory and generating around 309 tokens per second.

13

Can a H200 SXM 141 GB run a 13B model?

Yes. For example a H200 SXM 141 GB runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q8_0, using about 17.5 GB of memory and generating around 719 tokens per second.

14

Can a H200 SXM 141 GB run a 30B model?

Yes. For example a H200 SXM 141 GB runs ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B at Q8_0, using about 29.2 GB of memory and generating around 411 tokens per second.

15

Can a H200 SXM 141 GB run a 70B model?

Yes. For example a H200 SXM 141 GB runs Qwen3-Coder-Next at Q8_0, using about 80.7 GB of memory and generating around 144 tokens per second.

16

How much memory does a H200 SXM 141 GB have?

A H200 SXM 141 GB has 141 GB of HBM3e memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 126.9 GB available for a model and its conversation.

17

What is the memory bandwidth of a H200 SXM 141 GB?

The H200 SXM 141 GB has 4,890 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 6,144-bit memory bus. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.

18

What type of memory does a H200 SXM 141 GB use?

It uses HBM3e clocked at 1.59 GHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.

19

Who makes the H200 SXM 141 GB?

The H200 SXM 141 GB is a NVIDIA product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process.

20

When was the H200 SXM 141 GB released?

The H200 SXM 141 GB was released in November 2024.

21

How much power does a H200 SXM 141 GB use?

The H200 SXM 141 GB has a rated board power of 700 W, and a 1,100 W system power supply is suggested. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.
