Performance Analysis
The A30 delivers FP16 dense performance at 165 TFLOPS and FP16 with sparsity at 330 TFLOPS along with FP32 performance at 10.3 TFLOPS. Absence of published FP16 figures for the Gaudi 2 prevents direct FP16 dense comparison between the two. The 933 GB/s memory bandwidth on the A30 versus 2450 GB/s on the Gaudi 2 produces different limits on batch sizes during model execution. The A30 also supplies INT8 dense performance at 330 TOPS and INT8 with sparsity at 661 TOPS. Higher bandwidth on the Gaudi 2 supports larger working sets while the lower TDP of 165W on the A30 favors sustained operation within tighter power constraints.

When to Choose the A30
The A30 suits deployments that prioritize the 165W TDP and NVLink interconnect. Its 24 GB HBM2 configuration combined with 10.3 TFLOPS FP32 performance fits workloads that remain within modest memory footprints and require PCIe form factor compatibility.
When to Choose the Gaudi 2
The Gaudi 2 suits deployments that require the 96 GB HBM2e capacity and 2450 GB/s bandwidth. Its OAM form factor and RoCE Ethernet interconnect fit large scale configurations where memory volume exceeds the 24 GB limit of the A30.
