Performance Analysis
The FP32 rating of 26.7 TFLOPS on the RTX 4000 Ada exceeds the 11.2 TFLOPS on the Quadro RTX 5000 by a factor of 2.4 and supports faster execution of single precision workloads. The Quadro RTX 5000 supplies dense FP16 at 89.2 TFLOPS and dense INT8 at 178.4 TOPS while the RTX 4000 Ada lists FP8 with sparsity at 427.6 TFLOPS. Higher memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s on the Quadro RTX 5000 enables larger batch sizes in memory bound operations than the 360 GB/s on the RTX 4000 Ada. Lower TDP of 130W on the RTX 4000 Ada reduces power draw relative to 230W on the Quadro RTX 5000 during sustained FP32 tasks.
