Performance Analysis

The L4 delivers FP32 performance of 30.3 TFLOPS which is 2.5 times the 12.1 TFLOPS FP32 of the TITAN Xp. The L4 also lists dense FP16 performance of 121 TFLOPS with no corresponding figure published for the TITAN Xp. The L4 lists dense FP8 performance of 242 TFLOPS and dense INT8 performance of 242 TOPS while the TITAN Xp lists no figures for these precisions. Memory bandwidth of 548 GB/s on the TITAN Xp exceeds the 300 GB/s on the L4 which can support larger batch sizes in bandwidth bound workloads. The L4 TDP of 72W is 3.47 times lower than the 250W TDP of the TITAN Xp which affects sustained operation in power constrained environments.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the L4 and the TITAN Xp. 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.
