What is the NVIDIA A100?

The A100 is a GPU from NVIDIA on the Ampere architecture, an accelerator for AI training, inference and high-performance computing. It is an SXM module, the mezzanine format used in dense multi-GPU servers. A100 full specifications →

Can I rent the A100 in the cloud?

Yes. Cloud providers tracked by Flopper rent the A100 by the hour, and the pricing page compares their current rates and the price history side by side. A100 rental prices →

How does the A100 compare with other accelerators?

This page sets the A100 against the A10G. The A100 is the older generation of the two. Both are NVIDIA parts; the A100 is an SXM module while the A10G is a PCIe card. Flopper also compares it head to head with the H100 SXM5 80GB, B200 SXM 180GB and A100 PCIe 40GB, across every published precision, memory and power. A100 vs H100 SXM5 80GB →

FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The A10G is the newer part: Ampere (2022) against the A100's Ampere (2020).

The A100 carries 56 GB more memory (80 GB against 24 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 2.0 TB/s against 600 GB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 400 W against 300 W, and at FP32 the A10G 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 A100 faster than the A10G?

At FP16 precision the A100 reaches 312 TFLOPS dense against 70 TFLOPS for the A10G. The performance table on this page lists every published precision for both GPUs.

Which should you choose, the A100 or the A10G?

Choose the A100 for training and high-throughput inference: it has 4.5x the FP16 throughput of the A10G. It also carries 56 GB more memory, so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. The A100 draws 100 W more power, so budget for cooling and power delivery before you commit. Packaging differs too: the A100 is an SXM module while the A10G is a PCIe card, so check what your servers accept.

Which has more memory, the A100 or the A10G?

The A100 carries 80 GB of memory versus 24 GB for the A10G. Memory bandwidth is 2.0 TB/s for the A100 and 600 GB/s for the A10G.

How much power do the A100 and the A10G draw?

The A100 is rated at 400 W TDP and the A10G at 300 W. On FP32 throughput per watt, the A10G is the more efficient part.

How much do the A100 and the A10G cost to rent?

Live cloud listings tracked by Flopper price the A100 from $1.05 per GPU-hour across 25 providers, and the A10G from $1.01 per GPU-hour across 2 providers. The rental section on this page links to every provider, rate and the price history for each GPU.
