Sourcing and disambiguation notes

Also sold as an SXM2 module with the same 732 GB/s HBM2, which needs a server carrier board and does not fit a standard desktop PCIe slot; a separate SXM2 llama.cpp result exists but is not merged here, to avoid mixing form factors. No video output, and passive cooling on most pulled units. Real-world decode on this chip is oddly bandwidth-underutilised in llama.cpp, with contributors reporting 41-43% memory-controller utilisation, so it under-performs its bandwidth advantage over the P40. The Canadian figure is for the PCIe card; cheaper SXM2 listings exist around CA$113 but need an adapter board, so the PCIe price is used as representative.

Measurements

Decode is token generation — the speed you feel while an answer streams. Prefill is prompt processing — the wait before it starts. Why bandwidth predicts decode speed.

What verified, single-source and estimated mean, and the same rows with every filter and sort in the benchmarks explorer.

Speed over time

What it can run

Fit is arithmetic, not a measurement — how it is computed. Against 16 GB; models that fit are listed largest first.
