Performance Analysis
The P100 supplies 18.7 TFLOPS FP16 dense whereas the A2000 supplies 63.9 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity. Direct comparison of dense FP16 figures is limited to the published 18.7 TFLOPS value from the P100 because the A2000 lacks a published dense FP16 number. The P100 also reaches 9.3 TFLOPS FP32 compared with 8 TFLOPS FP32 on the A2000. Memory bandwidth of 732 GB/s on the P100 versus 288 GB/s on the A2000 directly influences achievable batch sizes during memory intensive operations.

When to Choose the P100
The P100 suits workloads that require 16 GB memory capacity together with 732 GB/s bandwidth and NVLink interconnect support. Scientific computing tasks benefit from these attributes along with the 9.3 TFLOPS FP32 rating when power draw at 250W remains acceptable.
When to Choose the RTX A2000
The A2000 suits deployments that prioritize 70W TDP and PCIe 4.0 connectivity over higher memory capacity. Tasks that fit within 12 GB VRAM and can utilize 63.9 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity gain from the lower power profile and newer architecture.
Use Cases
The P100 supplies 16 GB memory and 732 GB/s bandwidth that support larger training batches than the 12 GB limit on the A2000.
The A2000 delivers 63.9 TFLOPS FP16 with sparsity at 70W TDP which favors sustained inference efficiency over the P100 at 250W.
The P100 provides 16 GB HBM2 and NVLink that accommodate fine-tuning memory requirements beyond the A2000 maximum of 12 GB GDDR6.
The A2000 at 8 TFLOPS FP32 and 70W TDP fits common diffusion workloads that remain within 12 GB while consuming less power than the P100.
The P100 offers 9.3 TFLOPS FP32 together with 732 GB/s bandwidth and NVLink that benefit compute intensive scientific codes.
