NVIDIA Blackwell InferenceMAX Benchmarks: Performance & Efficiency
Here’s a summary of the MAX v1 benchmarks and performance improvements highlighted in the provided text:
* Throughput: Blackwell delivers over 10,000 TPS (tokens per second) per GPU at 50 TPS per user interactivity. This is 4x higher per-GPU throughput compared to the NVIDIA H200 GPU.
* Power Efficiency: Blackwell provides 10x throughput per megawatt compared to the previous generation.
* Cost efficiency: The cost per million tokens is 15x lower with the Blackwell architecture compared to the previous generation.
* Performance Balance: Blackwell balances cost, energy efficiency, throughput, and responsiveness, offering the highest ROI across real-world workloads. It utilizes the Pareto frontier to map performance across these dimensions.
* InferenceMAX: Uses the Pareto frontier to map performance, reflecting Blackwell’s ability to balance production priorities.
The text emphasizes that Blackwell isn’t just about peak performance in one area,but about delivering efficient and cost-effective performance across a range of production needs.
