FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

The T4 is the newer part: Turing (2019) against the Quadro RTX 6000's Turing (2018).

The Quadro RTX 6000 carries 8 GB more memory (24 GB against 16 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 672 GB/s against 300 GB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Power is 295 W against 70 W, and at FP32 the T4 does more work per watt. Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.
