L40 vs RTX 2060

The L40 FP32 rating of 90.5 TFLOPS exceeds the RTX 2060 FP32 rating of 6.5 TFLOPS by a factor derived directly from those two numbers. L40 dense FP16 performance reaches 181.05 TFLOPS while the RTX 2060 figure remains unpublished by the vendor. L40 dense FP16 at 181.05 TFLOPS versus L40 FP32 at 90.5 TFLOPS indicates a doubling that supports larger batch sizes during training workloads. Memory bandwidth of 864 GB/s on the L40 compared with 336 GB/s on the RTX 2060 allows greater data throughput that scales with the 48 GB versus 6-12 GB VRAM difference for inference tasks. L40 dense FP8 at 362 TFLOPS and L40 dense INT8 at 362 TOPS further extend options where the RTX 2060 lacks published equivalents.

The L40 suits workloads that require 48 GB GDDR6 VRAM and 864 GB/s bandwidth such as large model inference. Its 181.05 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating and 90.5 TFLOPS FP32 rating enable handling of bigger batches than the RTX 2060 can support with its 6-12 GB VRAM and 6.5 TFLOPS FP32.

The RTX 2060 fits lighter tasks that align with its 160W TDP and 6.5 TFLOPS FP32 rating when 6-12 GB GDDR6 VRAM suffices. Its PCIe 3.0 interconnect pairs with lower power draw for environments where the L40 300W TDP and PCIe 4.0 would exceed requirements.
