Frequently asked questions

What is B300 SXM 288GB used for?

B300 SXM 288GB is a datacenter accelerator from NVIDIA with 288 GB of VRAM and 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth and 1800 GB/s of NVLink, typically around $8/hr on cloud rental. Announced; FP16 dense not published. It is aimed at production LLM serving.

Which models fit on a single B300 SXM 288GB?

40 models in the tokcalc catalog fit on one B300 SXM 288GB, up to Llama 3.1 405B (405B params) at awq4. Below that, throughput and cost per million tokens improve as the model gets smaller.

How fast is Llama 3.3 70B on B300 SXM 288GB?

At fp8 with 8 concurrent users, 1× B300 SXM 288GB serves 1326 tokens/sec aggregate (110.5 tok/s per stream), with a 1.58 s time to first token. That works out to $1.68 per 1M output tokens.

How much does B300 SXM 288GB cost per hour?

Around $8/hr for on-demand cloud rental (a typical 2025–2026 estimate across RunPod, Lambda, Modal, AWS, GCP and similar providers). Actual pricing varies by region, commitment, and spot availability — the Build vs Buy tab in the calculator pulls live quotes from several providers.

How does B300 SXM 288GB compare to other accelerators?

Memory bandwidth drives decode speed and VRAM drives capacity. B300 SXM 288GB has 8,000 GB/s of bandwidth and 288 GB of VRAM. The comparison table on this page ranks every accelerator in the catalog on the same reference workload so you can see where it lands.
