NVIDIA Tesla P40 24GB GDDR5 datacenter
Equipped with 24GB of GDDR5 memory and the Pascal-based Tesla P40 chip, this card delivers 47 TOPS of INT8 inference performance for high-throughput deep learning deployment. Its passive cooling design and 250W TDP suit dense server environments, while ECC memory ensures data integrity for sustained compute loads. This GPU is best for data centers running large-scale AI inference workloads where replacing over 140 CPU servers with a single 8-GPU node is a priority.
