B200 Technical Overview
The B200 delivers roughly 2.5× the AI training performance of the H100 with 192 GB of HBM3e memory. NVLink 5.0 provides 1.8 TB/s GPU-to-GPU bandwidth. FP4 precision support enables more efficient inference.
Pricing Analysis
Azure's cheapest B200 option starts at $56.4000/hr, which is 721% above the market average of $6.8726/hr. Azure currently offers on-demand pricing only for B200. This means no commitment required, but you won't access the deeper discounts available from reserved or spot pricing.
Note: Azure ND-series VMs with InfiniBand provide competitive multi-node training performance, though single-GPU pricing tends to track slightly above specialized clouds.
Market context: B200 is the newest generation available in cloud as of 2026, with limited but growing availability. Pricing is at a premium — expect 2–3× H100 rates as supply ramps up.
