AMD’s vendor engine wins a real slice of the performance per dollar frontier, while Hopper struggles to serve K3 at all
What four years of hardware and a 4-bit format buy on a long-context agentic workload
Day 0 Inference Performance, InferenceX, 100x performance improvement in 26 Days, Cost per Million Tokens, Huawei 950DT Inference Trace Analysis
Both SKUs run SGLang EAGLE MTP; the Blackwell generation lifts perf/$ by ~1.2x at the peak and the NVIDIA GLM-5-NVFP4 checkpoint on FlashInfer TRT-LLM sparse MLA stacks another ~2.4–3.0x on 8K/1K
On vLLM 8K/1K the NVFP4 path on B200 is 2.71x–2.95x cheaper per million tokens than H200 INT4 across the entire 30–90 tok/s/user serving band, and 2.45x–2.74x cheaper than B200 INT4 on the same silicon. Both factors decompose cleanly into B200's HBM bandwidth, HBM capacity, and NVFP4 tensor cores
