MI210 vs L40S

AMD MI210 vs Nvidia L40S

Two data center GPUs, one CDNA2 and one Ada Lovelace: 64 GB HBM2e against 48 GB GDDR6, 90% more memory bandwidth on the MI210, and Infinity Fabric 300 GB/s on the MI210 where the L40S is PCIe only.

Price comparison

Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.

Billing	MI210	L40S
On-demand	No on-demand listings	$1.29 /GPU/hr from $0.38
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.86 (1 mo)	$1.11 /GPU/hr from $0.60 (12 mo)
Spot	No spot listings	$0.98 /GPU/hr from $0.47

Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Medians are across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one. No median for reserved on the MI210: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
