Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B — B200 vs GB300 NVL72
Head-to-head AI inference benchmark comparison of B200 (NVIDIA Blackwell) and GB300 NVL72 (NVIDIA Blackwell) on Qwen 3.5 397B-A17B. Latency, throughput, and cost across LLM workloads. Use the chart controls below to switch sequences, precisions, and metrics — same interactions as the main inference chart.
AgentX replays real coding-agent sessions rather than fixed-length prompts, so context grows turn over turn and most of each request is served from cache instead of being recomputed. That turns the comparison into a systems question: KV transfer between nodes, prefix-aware routing, and cache capacity all move the curve alongside raw chip throughput. Fixed-sequence workloads stay the clean baseline for kernel and silicon performance, so the two scenarios answer different questions about the same hardware. Learn more about AgentX →

Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate cost per million tokens per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct token cost comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate input throughput per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct input throughput comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Note: Disaggregated inference configurations (e.g., MoRI SGLang, Dynamo TRTLLM) calculate output throughput per decode chip or per prefill chip, rather than per total chip count. This makes direct output throughput comparison with aggregated configs not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Interactivity is the rate at which a single user receives generated tokens while the model streams its answer — how quickly new words appear on screen. Higher values feel snappier; operators trade it against batch throughput.
How many total tokens (input + output) one US dollar of infrastructure spend buys, priced with the all-in hourly ownership cost of a Neocloud Giant operator. It is the reciprocal of cost per token, so higher means cheaper.
Formula: tok/$ = (total tok/s/chip × 3,600) ÷ all-in cost per chip-hour ($)
