Huawei Atlas 800T A3
The training member of Huawei's Atlas 800 A3 family: a 10U air-cooled compute node with eight Ascend 910 NPUs and four Kunpeng 920 CPUs, rated at 6.0 PFLOPS of FP16 with 1,024 GB of on-chip memory at 3.2 TB/s per NPU and 784 GB/s of bidirectional device-to-device bandwidth. Huawei sells three models on this chassis at 6.0, 5.0 and 4.48 PFLOPS FP16, which works out at 750, 625 and 560 TFLOPS per NPU; this is the top one, and the 4.48 model is the separately listed Atlas 800I A3. Multiple nodes combine into an Atlas 900 A3 SuperPoD of up to 384 cards. Huawei publishes only an FP16 figure for this machine, and no INT8: a previously held INT8 value of 12.0 PFLOPS was 8 x 1,500 TFLOPS, a per-NPU rate Huawei states nowhere, and has been removed. Power is also not attributable: Huawei's family page gives 16.2 kW as the maximum input power for the Atlas 800 A3 line, but that line covers three compute variants and the Atlas 800I A3's own page separately says 14.6 kW, so no figure is recorded here rather than guessing which model the 16.2 kW describes. Huawei labels nothing dense or sparse.

Where a vendor states a basis, the figure shown is the dense one, and any figure it publishes is listed separately. Vendors commonly headline the sparse number instead: for NVIDIA's 2:4 structured sparsity that is exactly twice the dense figure, though other vendors' sparse modes do not all follow that ratio.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Atlas 800T A3 cost?
Huawei sells the Atlas 800T A3 on quote through OEMs and resellers, and Flopper has no live rental listing for its Ascend 910C accelerator to derive an hourly figure from. System rental pricing →
How much power does the Atlas 800T A3 require?
Huawei has not published a power figure for the Atlas 800T A3, and Flopper does not derive one from the accelerator count because the rest of the system draws power too.
How many GPUs are in the Atlas 800T A3?
8. The Atlas 800T A3 carries 8 Huawei Ascend 910C accelerators in a rack form factor, and every throughput figure on this page is the total across them. Ascend 910C specifications →
