Performance Analysis

The A10 FP32 figure of 31.2 TFLOPS exceeds the RTX 4000 Ada figure of 26.7 TFLOPS by a ratio of 1.17. The A10 also lists FP16 dense at 125 TFLOPS and FP16 with sparsity at 250 TFLOPS. Higher memory bandwidth of 600 GB/s on the A10 versus 360 GB/s on the RTX 4000 Ada permits larger batch sizes in memory bound operations. The A10 TDP of 150 W exceeds the RTX 4000 Ada TDP of 130 W.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the A10 and the RTX 4000 Ada. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
  • Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
  • The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
