VR2R-0731

① SA Source

Context Before

Indeed, real world use of FP4 Sparsity will probably not reach 50 PFLOPS but it will probably deliver better effective FLOPs than FP4 Dense, but we have yet to evaluate what that real-world performance could be. Running VR NVL72 on 1800W would probably mean lower FP4 Sparse FLOPs than on 2300W.

Evidence

Inference throughput too can diverge materially from marketed peak FLOPS, meaning spec-sheet compute does not directly translate into real-world token generation performance.

Context After

While the B300 is rated at 4,500 Dense FP8 TFLOPs versus 5,000 Dense FP8 TFLOPs for MI355, implying a 10% theoretical compute disadvantage and with same marketed memory bandwidth of 8TB/s measured inference token throughput from our InferenceX benchmarks shows B300 delivering roughly 6.3x the performance at 100 interactivity for Deepseek R1, using 8k input tokens and 1k output tokens.

② Atomic Claim

inference throughput 也可能和 marketed peak FLOPS 有顯著差異,因此規格表上的 compute performance 並不會直接轉化成真實世界的 token generation performance。
