FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The Quadro P2000 is the newer part: Pascal (2017) against the Tesla P40's Pascal (2016).

The Tesla P40 carries 19 GB more memory (24 GB against 5 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 140 GB/s against 346 GB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 75 W against 250 W, and at FP32 the Tesla P40 does more work per watt. Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.
