Performance Analysis
The L4 FP32 figure of 30.3 TFLOPS stands at roughly half the RTX 5080 FP32 figure of 56.3 TFLOPS. In training workloads the higher FP32 value on the RTX 5080 allows faster forward and backward passes per iteration when precision stays at FP32. For inference the L4 dense FP16 value of 121 TFLOPS exceeds the RTX 5080 dense FP16 value of 112.6 TFLOPS while the L4 sparse FP16 value of 242 TFLOPS exceeds the RTX 5080 sparse FP16 value of 225.1 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth of 960 GB/s on the RTX 5080 permits larger batch sizes than the 300 GB/s bandwidth on the L4 when the workload is memory bound.

When to Choose the L4
The L4 suits deployments that prioritize low power draw because its TDP of 72W is one fifth the TDP of 360W on the RTX 5080. Workloads that require the full 24 GB GDDR6 capacity benefit from the L4 over the 16 GB GDDR7 capacity on the RTX 5080. PCIe 4.0 interconnect on the L4 remains sufficient for inference servers where interconnect speed is not the limiting factor.
When to Choose the RTX 5080
The RTX 5080 suits workloads that require the higher FP32 throughput of 56.3 TFLOPS and the higher memory bandwidth of 960 GB/s. Applications that can exploit the FP4 dense value of 900.4 TFLOPS gain an advantage not present on the L4. PCIe 5.0 interconnect on the RTX 5080 supports faster data movement between host and device than the PCIe 4.0 interconnect on the L4.
Use Cases
The RTX 5080 FP32 value of 56.3 TFLOPS exceeds the L4 value of 30.3 TFLOPS and its memory bandwidth of 960 GB/s supports larger batches than the L4 bandwidth of 300 GB/s.
The RTX 5080 sparse FP16 value of 225.1 TFLOPS combined with 960 GB/s bandwidth enables higher tokens per second than the L4 sparse FP16 value of 242 TFLOPS at 300 GB/s bandwidth.
The L4 supplies 24 GB GDDR6 while the RTX 5080 supplies higher dense FP16 throughput of 112.6 TFLOPS so selection depends on model size versus iteration speed.
The RTX 5080 memory bandwidth of 960 GB/s and FP16 dense value of 112.6 TFLOPS accelerate diffusion steps compared with the L4 values of 300 GB/s and 121 TFLOPS.
The RTX 5080 FP32 value of 56.3 TFLOPS exceeds the L4 value of 30.3 TFLOPS for double precision adjacent workloads.
