VR2R-0722

① SA Source

Context Before

The MI4XX currently has a performance per TCO advantage based on marketed dense FLOPS over VR. VR has a higher TCO per GPU compared to MI4XX, yet VR marketed PFLOPs are lower vs MI4XX resulting in a TCO per PFLOP disadvantage for the VR vs MI4XX.

Evidence

NVIDIA is offering sparsity for FP4, marketing 50 PFLOPS of FP4

Context After

, while AMD has opted 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.

② Atomic Claim

NVIDIA 在 FP4 提供 sparsity,並行銷 50 PFLOPS FP4。
