Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 vs NVIDIA B200 SXM6 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no benchmark scores for either the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 or the NVIDIA B200 SXM6. Both entries show an average benchmark score of 0, and the head-to-head benchmark comparison list is empty. This makes direct performance comparisons impossible from the database at this time.

Both GPUs sit at the 50th percentile in the database's ranking of all GPUs, which places them in the middle of the distribution when considering the full range of recorded hardware. This percentile value does not indicate performance parity, but rather reflects the absence of measured data for both parts.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 delivers 44.44 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 44.44 TFLOPS of FP16 compute on a 1:1 ratio. The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 delivers 69.34 TFLOPS of FP32 and 69.34 TFLOPS of FP16, also on a 1:1 ratio. The NVIDIA part shows a 56% advantage in raw FP32 throughput and the same 56% advantage in FP16 throughput, calculated directly from the recorded figures.

Texture rate favors the Intel part, with 1,388.8 GTexel/s compared to 1,083.4 GTexel/s for the NVIDIA unit, a 28% lead for Intel. Pixel rate runs in the opposite direction: the NVIDIA B200 SXM6 records 43.92 GPixel/s while the Intel Max 1350 records 0 MPixel/s, indicating the Intel part has no pixel output capability in the database's measurement framework.

Memory bandwidth strongly favors NVIDIA. The B200 SXM6 reaches 8.19 TB/s against the Intel Max 1350's 2.46 TB/s, a 3.3x difference. Memory capacity also differs substantially: 180 GB for the NVIDIA part versus 96 GB for the Intel part, giving NVIDIA an 87.5% capacity advantage.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 wins in every measured computational category where both parts have nonzero values. Its FP32 and FP16 throughput of 69.34 TFLOPS exceeds the Intel part's 44.44 TFLOPS in both precision formats. Its pixel rate of 43.92 GPixel/s stands against the Intel part's 0 MPixel/s, which means the Intel Max 1350 does not process pixels at all in the database's specifications.

Memory bandwidth and capacity both favor NVIDIA. The 8.19 TB/s bandwidth on the B200 SXM6 is more than triple the 2.46 TB/s on the Intel Max 1350. The 180 GB HBM3e pool on the NVIDIA part provides nearly double the 96 GB HBM2e pool on the Intel part. For workloads that scale with memory size or bandwidth, such as large model inference or training batches, the NVIDIA part holds a clear specification-level advantage.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 wins in texture rate, recording 1,388.8 GTexel/s versus 1,083.4 GTexel/s for the B200 SXM6. This 28% lead in texture fill rate suggests the Intel part is configured with a higher number of texture mapping units, 896 versus 592, giving it an advantage in texture-bound workloads such as certain rendering or image processing tasks, though the Intel part's 0 MPixel/s output rate limits its practical pixel pipeline usage.

The Intel part also carries more shading units, 14,336 versus 18,944 for NVIDIA, but this raw count does not translate into higher FP32 throughput because the NVIDIA part operates at a higher boost clock of 1830 MHz compared to the Intel part's 1550 MHz boost clock.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and process nodes. Intel builds the Data Center GPU Max 1350 on a 10 nm node at Intel's own foundry, using the Ponte Vecchio chip with the Generation 12.5 architecture. NVIDIA builds the B200 SXM6 on a 5 nm node at TSMC, using the GB100 chip with the Blackwell architecture. The transistor counts differ substantially: the Intel die contains 100,000 million transistors on a 1280 mm² die, while the NVIDIA die contains 208,000 million transistors on a 1628 mm² die. This gives the NVIDIA part a transistor density of 127.8M per mm² versus 78.1M per mm² for the Intel part.

Memory technologies differ as well. The Intel Max 1350 uses HBM2e with a 2.4 Gbps effective data rate and a 1200 MHz memory clock. The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 uses HBM3e with an 8 Gbps effective data rate and a 2000 MHz memory clock. Both parts share an 8192-bit memory bus width, so the bandwidth difference comes entirely from the higher per-pin data rate on the HBM3e implementation.

Clock behavior differs notably. The Intel part has a base clock of 750 MHz and a boost clock of 1550 MHz. The NVIDIA part has a much lower base clock of 120 MHz but a higher boost clock of 1830 MHz. This wide base-to-boost gap on the NVIDIA part suggests aggressive power management at idle, while the Intel part maintains a higher idle frequency.

The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 includes 592 tensor cores and 24 ROPs, while the Intel Max 1350 includes 112 ray tracing cores and 896 TMUs with no tensor core count recorded. The Intel part has no ROPs listed, consistent with its 0 MPixel/s pixel rate. Neither part has display outputs.

The NVIDIA part lists a PCIe 6.0 x16 bus interface, while the Intel part uses PCIe 5.0 x16. The NVIDIA part is an SXM Module, the Intel part is an OAM Module. Power requirements differ sharply: the NVIDIA B200 SXM6 has a 1000 W TDP and a suggested PSU of 1400 W, while the Intel Max 1350 has a 450 W TDP and a suggested PSU of 850 W. The NVIDIA part's launch MSRP is 34,999 USD.

The Verdict

The database records no benchmark scores for either GPU, so all conclusions must come from specification-level data. The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 dominates in raw compute throughput, memory bandwidth, memory capacity, and pixel processing. Its 69.34 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 figures exceed the Intel part by 56%, its 8.19 TB/s bandwidth more than triples the Intel part's 2.46 TB/s, and its 180 GB memory capacity nearly doubles the Intel part's 96 GB.

The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 holds a specification advantage in texture rate, with 1,388.8 GTexel/s versus 1,083.4 GTexel/s for the NVIDIA part. It also carries more shading units, 14,336 versus 18,944 for NVIDIA, though the NVIDIA part's higher boost clock of 1830 MHz versus 1550 MHz produces higher effective throughput. The Intel part consumes less power, 450 W versus 1000 W, and requires a smaller suggested PSU, 850 W versus 1400 W.

For server deployments where memory bandwidth, capacity, and peak FP32 throughput drive workload selection, the recorded specifications point to the NVIDIA B200 SXM6. For texture-heavy workloads where the 28% texture rate lead matters, the Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 offers a measurable advantage. The NVIDIA part has a launch MSRP of 34,999 USD, while the Intel part has no recorded launch MSRP.

The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 targets the highest-end compute segment with its 1000 W TDP, 180 GB HBM3e, and 69.34 TFLOPS. The Intel Data Center GPU Max 1350 positions as a lower-power alternative with 450 W TDP, 96 GB HBM2e, and 44.44 TFLOPS. Both parts remain in active production status.
