Performance Analysis
The FP16 dense performance of 125 TFLOPS on the A10 exceeds the 40.3 TFLOPS dense FP16 on the RTX 2080 by a factor of three while FP32 figures show 31.2 TFLOPS versus 10 TFLOPS. This delta supports faster matrix operations in training and inference when dense FP16 precision applies to both GPUs. Memory bandwidth at 600 GB/s on the A10 versus 448 GB/s on the RTX 2080 permits larger batch sizes during model execution because data movement occurs at a higher rate. INT8 dense performance reaches 250 TOPS on the A10 compared to 161.1 TOPS on the RTX 2080 which favors quantized inference tasks on the A10. Sparsity figures for the A10 at 250 TFLOPS FP16 and 500 TOPS INT8 remain separate from dense comparisons and cannot be mixed with the dense values of the RTX 2080.

When to Choose the A10
The A10 suits workloads that require 24 GB GDDR6 VRAM and 600 GB/s memory bandwidth because these values exceed the 8-11 GB and 448 GB/s on the RTX 2080. Lower TDP at 150W combined with 31.2 TFLOPS FP32 makes the A10 preferable for sustained operations where power efficiency matters. PCIe 4.0 interconnect further supports the A10 in systems that prioritize newer data transfer standards over NVLink availability.
When to Choose the RTX 2080
The RTX 2080 fits scenarios that utilize NVLink interconnect because the A10 lacks this option and relies solely on PCIe 4.0.
Use Cases
The A10 supplies 125 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 24 GB VRAM which exceed the 40.3 TFLOPS dense FP16 and 8-11 GB on the RTX 2080.
INT8 dense performance at 250 TOPS on the A10 surpasses 161.1 TOPS on the RTX 2080 while 600 GB/s bandwidth supports larger batches.
FP32 at 31.2 TFLOPS and 24 GB GDDR6 on the A10 enable more efficient parameter updates than 10 TFLOPS and 8-11 GB on the RTX 2080.
Higher memory bandwidth of 600 GB/s and 24 GB capacity on the A10 accommodate larger image generation workloads compared to 448 GB/s and 8-11 GB.
The A10 delivers 31.2 TFLOPS FP32 at 150W TDP which provides better efficiency than 10 TFLOPS at 215W on the RTX 2080.
