The NVIDIA B300 Superchip is fabricated using TSMC's 4NP custom process. Through the technology of dynamic power distribution, it has achieved a remarkable leap in performance. Compared with the previous - generation B200, its FP4 precision computing power has increased by 50%, reaching 15 peta - operations per second (FP4).
The core innovations of the B300 include the following aspects:
NVLink 4.0 Interconnection Technology: The bandwidth has been increased to 141GB/s, supporting the unified memory space of a 72 - GPU cluster and solving the bottleneck of multi - GPU collaboration.
LPCAMM2 Memory Architecture: It replaces the traditional LPDDR5x. The memory bandwidth has been increased by 2 times, and the latency has been reduced by 40%.
Modular Design: It adopts the SXM Puck sub - board solution, allowing customers to independently select the combination of Grace CPU and HMC chips.
2.2 Memory Revolution: The Breakthrough of 288GB HBM3E Memory
The 12 - layer stacked HBM3E memory of the B300 brings three major advantages:
Parameter | B300 | B200 | Improvement Magnitude |
---|---|---|---|
Memory Capacity | 288GB | 192GB | 50% |
Stacking Layers | 12 - Hi | 8 - Hi | 50% |
Memory Bandwidth | 8TB/s | 8TB/s | Unchanged |
This design enables the GB300 Superchip, in the NVL72 configuration, to run long - chain thinking reasoning with up to 100,000 tokens. The cost is three times lower than that of the H200. As Quantumbit analyzed: "This is the only hardware solution for the real - time inference of OpenAI o3 models."
