How fast will local models feel on the H100 80GB (cloud)?

Local LLM speed on the H100 80GB (cloud)

The H100 80GB (cloud) has 80 GB of memory and 3350 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is what mostly decides generation speed. Below is the expected speed for each model at the best quantization that fits.
