Notes
- fp32TFLOPS: NOTE: This is the Tensor Core FP32 performance, not the CUDA FP32 performance. The A40 for example doesn't have such a spec (only CUDA).
- Estimated MSRP of $15,000 USD for the A100 PCIe 80GB based on launch-time market pricing. NVIDIA does not publish official MSRP for data center GPUs. Sources from around the 2020-2021 launch period cite A100 40GB PCIe at ~$10,000-$12,000 and 80GB PCIe at ~$15,000-$20,000. Note: A100 pricing varies significantly by form factor (PCIe vs SXM) and memory size (40GB vs 80GB). SXM variants are typically more expensive than PCIe.
