The NVIDIA B200 was introduced in 2024 on the Blackwell architecture. Its specification combines 18,432 CUDA cores with 192GB of HBM3e, which defines both the workloads it can run and the batch sizes it can hold.
Based on its 192GB memory capacity, the B200 is best evaluated for large-model training, high-batch inference, and memory-intensive scientific computing. Always size the model, optimizer state, KV cache, and framework overhead together rather than choosing a GPU from core count alone.
GPUvec currently tracks 2 cloud listings for the B200, with the lowest observed hourly rate at $3.50. Prices and availability can change by provider, region, and instance configuration, so verify the final rate before starting a workload.
For software planning, the B200 combines 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth, CUDA compute capability 10.0, and a 4nm manufacturing process. Confirm the minimum CUDA, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or driver version required by your application before renting or purchasing hardware.

The NVIDIA B200 uses the Blackwell architecture and combines 18,432 CUDA cores with 192GB of HBM3e. GPUvec records 8,000 GB/s memory bandwidth alongside architecture, release date, process node, accelerator features, and physical specifications so the page can be evaluated from source data instead of model-name assumptions.
GPUvec currently tracks 2 cloud listings, with an observed starting rate of $3.50 per hour. Provider rates can vary by region, host configuration, billing model, and availability. Use the provider directory and related-GPU links to compare an available alternative when this exact accelerator is not listed.
Start with the 192GB memory limit, then evaluate 8,000 GB/s memory bandwidth, compute features, and software compatibility for your workload. Model weights, KV cache, activations, optimizer state, and framework overhead all consume memory. Compare this page with related accelerators rather than assuming that a higher core count alone guarantees a better training or inference result.
