① SA Source

Context Before

Notably, the Tensor core width doubling only applies to FP4 and FP8, with BF16 and TF32 remaining the same as Blackwell, resulting in performance scaling only 1.6x of Blackwell. This architectural decision reflects NVIDIA’s belief that most training and

Evidence

inference workloads will move away from TF32 and BF16 and onto FP8 and FP4.

Context After

On the memory front, the move to HBM4 means double the bus width per stack, running at 10.8 GT/s for 22TB/s total bandwidth or 2.75x Blackwell at the same 288GB capacity as GB300. Memory bandwidth has been upgraded significantly from the original 13TB/s advertised at GTC 2025. In order to catch up to AMD MI450’s memory bandwidth, Nvidia requested much higher HBM4 pin speeds from the DRAM suppliers - well above the speeds that was in the JEDEC specification for HBM4.
