Notes
- fp32TFLOPS: the L40 @ 90.5 per https://images.nvidia.com/content/Solutions/data-center/vgpu-L40-datasheet.pdf
- fp16TFLOPS: L40 is 181.05
- int8TOPS: L40 was 362 according to https://images.nvidia.com/aem-dam/Solutions/Data-Center/l4/nvidia-ada-gpu-architecture-whitepaper-v2.1.pdf
- Estimated MSRP of $31,000 USD for the NVIDIA L40 based on OEM list prices. NVIDIA does not publish official MSRP for data center GPUs. OEM list prices corroborated by 2 independent sources: Lenovo ThinkSystem NVIDIA L40 (4X67A84823) has MSRP of $33,109 per lenovo.com, and Cisco UCSX-GPU-L40 has GPL list price of approximately $30,000 per itprice.com. The $31,000 estimate represents the midpoint of these OEM list prices. Note: Current market/resale prices (~$7,500) are significantly lower due to depreciation but do not reflect original launch list pricing.
