FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The MTIA 200 is the newer part: MTIA (2024) against the L40's Ada Lovelace (2023).

The MTIA 200 carries 80 GB more memory (128 GB against 48 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 205 GB/s against 864 GB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 90 W against 300 W, and at FP32 the L40 does more work per watt. Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.

Frequently asked questions

Is the MTIA 200 faster than the L40?

They are close on paper: both deliver about 181 TFLOPS of dense FP16 throughput. Memory, bandwidth, and power are the deciding differences.

Which should you choose, the MTIA 200 or the L40?

On raw FP16 throughput the MTIA 200 and the L40 are level, so the decision rests on memory, power and price. Choose the MTIA 200 when the model has to fit on one GPU: it carries 80 GB more memory. The MTIA 200 draws 210 W less power, which matters in an air-cooled or power-capped rack.

Which has more memory, the MTIA 200 or the L40?

The MTIA 200 carries 128 GB of memory versus 48 GB for the L40. Memory bandwidth is 205 GB/s for the MTIA 200 and 864 GB/s for the L40.

How much power do the MTIA 200 and the L40 draw?

The MTIA 200 is rated at 90 W TDP and the L40 at 300 W. On FP32 throughput per watt, the L40 is the more efficient part.

How much do the MTIA 200 and the L40 cost to rent?
