Context Before
NVIDIA is offering sparsity for FP4, marketing 50 PFLOPS of FP4, while AMD has opsted to remove sparsity support since CDNA4 for inference dtypes. Harnessing the 50 PFLOPS sparse vs 35 PFLOPS dense drops the cost per perf in units of $/hr per Marketed PFLOP by 35% – a valid comparison if AI Labs can indeed successfully harness Sparse FP4 on the VR NVL72.
As always, one caveat is that this comparison is done based on a marketed dense PFLOP basis. Effective dense PFLOP (i.e. the real world chip throughput) can differ based on Model Flops Utilization % (MFU), and in general we have seen NVIDIA chip operate at a higher MFU % vs AMD chips, suggesting that performance per TCO based on effective dense PFLOPs could be better for NVIDIA systems vs AMD – however, MFU is dependent on actual workloads with no one-size-fits-all MFU % that is consistently applicable to either systems.
