A16 Catalog Listing History (30 days)
Catalog listings, not live prices.
These averages are of every tracked catalog listing, including spot, reserved, out-of-stock and older rows. They do not measure live on-demand prices or availability (the daily price history table above does that) and cannot establish savings against the current offers. Each day averages its recorded catalog snapshots; the median gives each day equal weight. Missing days are excluded.

Technical Specifications
Strengths & Limitations
- High density VDI support: Designed to support a large number of virtual desktops per server.
- Optimized for VDI workloads: Provides good performance for typical office applications and web browsing.
- Energy efficient: Designed for data center environments with power constraints.
- Cost-effective for VDI: Offers a relatively low cost per virtual desktop compared to higher-end GPUs.
- Limited for demanding graphics applications: Not suitable for heavy content creation, gaming, or AI/ML workloads.
- Lower single-application performance: Compared to gaming or professional visualization GPUs, the A16 prioritizes density over raw performance.
- GDDR6 Memory: While sufficient for VDI, it is not as fast or high-capacity as HBM2 or HBM3 found in higher-end data center GPUs.
Top Use Cases
Provides graphics acceleration for virtual desktops, enabling a smoother and more responsive user experience for office productivity, web browsing, and light multimedia consumption. Ideal for organizations with a large number of remote workers or centralized desktop management needs.
Supports remote workstations for users who need access to applications that require some graphics acceleration, such as CAD or digital content creation, but do not require the full performance of a high-end workstation GPU.
