NVIDIA B200 SXM6 vs NVIDIA RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the NVIDIA B200 SXM6 and the NVIDIA RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation. Both entries have an empty benchmark list, zero average benchmark scores, and zero recorded wins in the head-to-head table. The percentile versus all GPUs is identical for both at 50, which indicates that neither part has been ranked against a broader database of measured results.

What the data does show is a massive theoretical compute gap between the two accelerators. The B200 SXM6 delivers 69.34 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation delivers 15.62 TFLOPS. That places the B200 at approximately 4.4 times the FP32 throughput of the mobile part. The FP16 figures match the FP32 numbers for both products, with each reporting a 1:1 ratio. The B200 reaches 69.34 TFLOPS in FP16, and the RTX 3000 reaches 15.62 TFLOPS in FP16.

Texture rate follows a similar pattern. The B200 SXM6 produces 1,083.4 GTexel/s, while the RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation produces 244.1 GTexel/s. That is a 4.4 times difference in texture fill rate. Pixel rate tells a different story: the B200 manages 43.92 GPixel/s, while the RTX 3000 reaches 81.36 GPixel/s. The mobile part actually leads by roughly 1.85 times in pixel throughput, a consequence of its higher ROP count relative to its shading resources.

The absence of measured benchmark scores means the database cannot confirm real-world application performance for either product. The theoretical specifications suggest that the B200 SXM6 dominates in compute-heavy workloads, while the RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation holds an advantage in pixel processing. No wins are recorded for either side in the head-to-head table, so any comparison must rely entirely on the architectural specifications listed in the database.

The B200 also lacks API support entries for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan, all marked as N/A, whereas the RTX 3000 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The B200 uses HBM3e with 180 GB capacity, an 8192-bit bus, and 8.19 TB/s bandwidth. The RTX 3000 uses GDDR6 with 8 GB capacity, a 128-bit bus, and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth. The B200 memory bandwidth is 32 times greater. Clock behavior also diverges: the B200 has a base clock of 120 MHz and a boost clock of 1830 MHz, while the RTX 3000 has a base clock of 1395 MHz and a boost clock of 1695 MHz.

The B200 is a server-class SXM module with no display outputs, a PCIe 6.0 x16 interface, and no power connectors listed. The RTX 3000 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with portable device dependent display outputs, a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, and no power connectors. The B200 has a slot width of SXM Module, while the RTX 3000 uses IGP form factor.

The Verdict

The database shows two GPUs designed for entirely different roles. The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 is a server accelerator with massive compute resources, 208,000 million transistors, 180 GB of HBM3e memory, and 69.34 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput. It targets workloads that demand extreme parallel processing and enormous memory capacity. The NVIDIA RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation is a mobile integrated GPU with 4,608 shading units, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, and 15.62 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. It targets portable systems where power consumption is constrained to 115 W.

The B200 SXM6 wins decisively in compute throughput, texture rate, memory capacity, memory bandwidth, and transistor count. The RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation wins in pixel fill rate, ROP count, ray tracing capability, and API support. The B200 has no display outputs and no graphics API support, making it unsuitable for any visual output or consumer graphics workload. The RTX 3000 supports modern graphics APIs and is designed to drive portable device displays.

The release dates confirm the B200 is the newer product, launched on 2024-10-31, while the RTX 3000 launched on 2023-03-20. The B200 has a launch MSRP of 34,999 USD, while the RTX 3000 has no listed MSRP. The production status for both is Active. The predecessor and successor relationships differ: the B200 follows Server Hopper and leads to Server Rubin, while the RTX 3000 follows Ampere-MW and leads to Blackwell-MW.

Given the data, the B200 SXM6 is the choice for server-side compute tasks that require high FP32, FP16, and texture throughput along with massive memory bandwidth. The RTX 3000 Mobile Ada Generation is the choice for mobile systems that need pixel processing, ray tracing, and standard graphics API support within a 115 W envelope.
