TFLOPS/watt measures compute efficiency — how much AI throughput you get per watt of power consumed. For data centers with PUE of 1.2–1.5, a 10% improvement in TFLOPS/watt translates directly to lower electricity costs and cooling requirements. GB/s/watt measures memory bandwidth efficiency, which is the binding constraint for memory-bound LLM inference workloads.

When to choose each GPU

Choose NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 for:

Trillion-parameter training

Weaknesses / Limitations

Rack-scale system — not a single GPU, requires full NVL72 rack deployment
2,700W system TDP demands dedicated power and liquid cooling infrastructure
Extremely limited availability — primarily hyperscaler and large enterprise

Choose NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16GB for:

Budget inference
Small model fine-tuning
Entry Ada AI

Weaknesses / Limitations

Low bandwidth (288 GB/s) — inference throughput bottleneck
16 GB VRAM ceiling — cannot run 34B+ models
Consumer GPU — no ECC memory or enterprise support
