Intel Gaudi2
vs
Nvidia A4500
A data center GPU against a workstation card, one Gaudi (2nd Gen) and one Ampere: 96 GB HBM2e against 20 GB GDDR6, 3.8x the memory bandwidth on the Gaudi2, and RoCE 600 GB/s on the Gaudi2 where the A4500 is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | Gaudi2 | A4500 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $1.21 /GPU/hr from $1.03 | -- /GPU/hr from $0.25 | |
| Reserved | -- /GPU/hr from $0.58 (12 mo) | On request |
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 Gaudi2 and on-demand on the A4500: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
