NVIDIA H100 SXM5 94 GB vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for these two accelerators. The database shows zero benchmark entries for both the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 94 GB and the Lisuan Tech LX MAX, and neither has any nearest rivals listed. This means no comparative performance scores, win counts, or delta percentages exist to analyze. The absence of measurements makes a numerical comparison impossible. However, the available specifications allow for a meaningful analysis of theoretical compute capabilities based on the recorded hardware parameters.

The NVIDIA H100 SXM5 94 GB delivers 66.91 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, while the Lisuan Tech LX MAX provides 24.58 TFLOPS. This places the H100 at roughly 2.7 times the FP32 throughput of the LX MAX based on the recorded figures. In FP16 workloads, the H100 reaches 267.6 TFLOPS with a 4:1 ratio, whereas the LX MAX achieves 49.15 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio. The H100's FP16 advantage is substantial, exceeding the LX MAX by more than five times. These figures come directly from the specification data, not from any benchmark runs.

Texture and pixel throughput also favor the H100. The H100 records a texture rate of 1,045.4 GTexel/s against the LX MAX's 384.0 GTexel/s, a difference of about 2.7 times. Pixel rate tells a different story: the LX MAX posts 192.0 GPixel/s, while the H100 manages only 47.52 GPixel/s. The LX MAX leads in pixel fill by roughly four times, which reflects its different rendering pipeline design. Memory bandwidth shows the H100 at 3.36 TB/s using HBM3 across a 5120-bit bus, while the LX MAX operates at 432.0 GB/s over a 192-bit GDDR6 bus. The H100's bandwidth advantage is approximately 7.8 times.

Architecture Differences

The two accelerators come from different architectural lineages. The NVIDIA H100 SXM5 94 GB uses the GH100 chip built on the Hopper architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It belongs to the Server Hopper generation and contains 80,000 million transistors on an 814 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 98.3M per mm². The Lisuan Tech LX MAX uses the 7G106 chip based on the TrueGPU architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm process, also at TSMC. Its transistor count and die size are listed as unknown, and it belongs to the 7G100 generation. The process node difference, 5 nm versus 6 nm, represents a generation gap in manufacturing technology.

Compute resources differ sharply. The H100 integrates 16,896 shading units, 528 TMUs, and 24 ROPs. It also includes 528 tensor cores, a feature absent from the LX MAX specification. The LX MAX has 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. It records no tensor cores or ray tracing cores, while the H100 also lacks ray tracing core data. The H100's shading unit count is about 2.75 times the LX MAX, and its TMU count is also 2.75 times. The LX MAX has four times the ROP count of the H100, which explains its higher pixel rate.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The H100 uses 94 GB of HBM3 with a 5120-bit memory bus, while the LX MAX uses 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus. Effective memory clock for the H100 is 5.3 Gbps, while the LX MAX runs at 18 Gbps effective. Despite the LX MAX's higher memory clock, the H100's much wider bus and HBM3 technology deliver nearly eight times the bandwidth. The H100's 94 GB capacity is nearly eight times the LX MAX's 12 GB, a critical factor for large model residency.

Power and physical design differ as well. The H100 draws 700 W and uses a SXM module form factor with an 8-pin EPS connector, requiring a suggested 1100 W power supply. The LX MAX is a dual-slot card drawing 225 W with a single 16-pin connector and a suggested 550 W power supply. The H100 has no display outputs, while the LX MAX provides four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. The H100 connects via PCIe 5.0 x16, whereas the LX MAX uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The LX MAX has full API support including DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3; the H100 lists no API support data. Physical dimensions are recorded for the LX MAX at 248 mm length, 118 mm height, and 48 mm width, while the H100 has no dimensions listed.

Where Each One Wins

The data indicates distinct strengths for each accelerator. The NVIDIA H100 SXM5 94 GB wins decisively in raw compute throughput. Its FP32 performance of 66.91 TFLOPS versus 24.58 TFLOPS makes it the stronger choice for general compute workloads that rely on single-precision math. Its FP16 output of 267.6 TFLOPS dwarfs the LX MAX's 49.15 TFLOPS, making it more suitable for mixed-precision training and inference tasks that leverage reduced precision. The inclusion of 528 tensor cores on the H100 further reinforces its position for matrix operations common in AI and deep learning. The 94 GB HBM3 memory with 3.36 TB/s bandwidth allows the H100 to hold and process substantially larger datasets than the LX MAX's 12 GB at 432.0 GB/s.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX wins in pixel throughput. Its 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate is four times the H100's 47.52 GPixel/s. This advantage stems from its 96 ROPs versus the H100's 24 ROPs. The LX MAX also provides display outputs, with four DisplayPort 1.4a connections, while the H100 has no outputs at all. The LX MAX's support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3 suggests it can handle graphics rendering workloads, whereas the H100 lacks recorded API support. The LX MAX's 6 nm process and 225 W power draw make it a lower-power option, while the H100's 700 W requirement demands more substantial power delivery infrastructure.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 94 GB targets compute-heavy server workloads. Its 66.91 TFLOPS FP32 and 267.6 TFLOPS FP16 performance, combined with 528 tensor cores and 94 GB of HBM3 memory at 3.36 TB/s, position it for large-scale parallel computation. The H100's lack of display outputs and its SXM module form factor confirm its role as an accelerator for data center environments where graphics output is unnecessary. The 700 W power draw and suggested 1100 W power supply indicate a system designed for high-density compute.

The Lisuan Tech LX MAX fills a different role. Its 24.58 TFLOPS FP32 and 49.15 TFLOPS FP16 performance are lower, but its 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, 96 ROPs, and four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs point toward graphics and rendering tasks. The dual-slot design, 225 W power draw, and PCIe 4.0 x16 interface make it more adaptable to conventional workstation setups. The 12 GB GDDR6 memory with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth is modest compared to the H100 but sufficient for graphics-oriented workloads. The LX MAX's release date of 2026-03-16 places it as a newer product, while the H100 launched on 2023-03-20.

The data does not show a single superior product. The H100 leads in compute throughput, memory capacity, and bandwidth. The LX MAX leads in pixel fill rate, display capability, and API support. A user requiring maximum FP32 or FP16 compute, large model memory, or tensor core acceleration should select the H100. A user requiring graphics output, high pixel throughput, or lower system power requirements should select the LX MAX. The absence of benchmark scores and nearest rival data means no performance-per-watt or performance-per-dollar comparison exists in the database.
