A40 GPU

The NVIDIA A40 is a professional workstation GPU based on the Ampere architecture, positioned as a high-performance solution for AI training, data science, and professional graphics workloads. Built on an 8nm manufacturing process, the A40 features 10,752 CUDA cores, 336 third-generation Tensor Cores, and 48GB of GDDR6 memory with ECC support, providing substantial compute and memory resources for demanding applications. The A40 delivers 37.4 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 149.7 TFLOPS of FP16 performance, with 696 GB/s of memory bandwidth across a 384-bit interface. Key technical differentiators include second-generation RT Cores for ray tracing acceleration, third-generation NVLink interconnect at 112.5 GB/s bidirectional bandwidth, and PCIe Gen 4 support. The GPU operates at a 300W TDP in a dual-slot form factor. In cloud deployments, the A40 serves workloads requiring substantial VRAM capacity and mixed compute requirements, including AI model training with large datasets, professional visualization applications, virtual workstations, and data science workflows that benefit from the combination of traditional compute performance and AI acceleration capabilities.
