AMD Radeon Pro V520
vs
Nvidia A100
Two data center GPUs, one RDNA and one Ampere: 8 GB HBM2 against 80 GB HBM2e, 3.8x the memory bandwidth on the A100, and NVLink 600 GB/s on the A100 where the Radeon Pro V520 is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | Radeon Pro V520 | A100 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | -- /GPU/hr from $0.38 | $1.81 /GPU/hr from $0.89 | |
| Reserved | -- /GPU/hr from $0.19 (36 mo) | $1.60 /GPU/hr from $0.66 (24 mo) | |
| Spot | No spot listings | $1.20 /GPU/hr from $0.67 |
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 on-demand and reserved on the Radeon Pro V520: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
