A blank is not a zero. Where one card states a figure and the other states none, neither wins the row — the second number is unknown, and ranking an unknown as nothing is how a comparison starts to lie.

What this page will not tell you
On-demand list rates only · spot and committed terms priced separately and not mixed in here · no performance-per-dollar figure appears on this page, because it needs a throughput benchmark we do not hold and dividing a price by a vendor’s own TFLOPS claim produces a number that looks authoritative and means nothing
