Two Nvidia data center GPUs on the Ampere architecture: 80 GB HBM2e against 24 GB GDDR6, 3.2x the memory bandwidth on the A100, and NVLink 600 GB/s on the A100 where the A10G is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | A100 | A10G | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $1.76 /GPU/hr from $0.40 | -- /GPU/hr from $1.00 | |
| Reserved | $1.62 /GPU/hr from $0.54 (12 mo) | -- /GPU/hr from $0.43 (36 mo) | |
| Spot | $1.14 /GPU/hr from $0.30 | No spot listings |
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 A10G: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
