Performance Analysis

Dense FP16 performance reaches 125 TFLOPS on the A10 compared with 40.6 TFLOPS on the RTX 3070 while sparse FP16 performance reaches 250 TFLOPS on the A10 compared with 81.3 TFLOPS on the RTX 3070. The threefold advantage in dense FP16 allows the A10 to complete matrix operations for training and inference in fewer cycles when sparsity is unavailable. Memory bandwidth of 600 GB/s on the A10 versus 448 GB/s on the RTX 3070 supports larger batch sizes before data movement becomes the limiter during both training and inference passes.

When to Choose the A10

The A10 suits sustained inference workloads that require the full 24 GB of GDDR6 memory and the 150 W TDP rating. Its 600 GB/s bandwidth further enables larger batch processing than the 448 GB/s bandwidth of the RTX 3070 when FP32 throughput of 31.2 TFLOPS is needed.

When to Choose the RTX 3070

The RTX 3070 suits lighter inference tasks where the 8 GB of GDDR6 memory is sufficient and the 220 W TDP rating remains acceptable. Its dense INT8 rating of 162.6 TOPS still delivers usable throughput for smaller models that fit within the available memory.
