Heads up: We do our best to keep these specs & prices accurate. However, cloud costs may fluctuate based on region, usage, and other factors not listed here. These are estimates based on common setups and are for informational purposes only. Always verify current rates & exact specs with the provider before provisioning.
24GB GDDR6 with NVLink (112 GB/s). Professional workstation GPU with ECC memory. Good for mixed AI development and visualization.
Workstation pricing premium. For AI-only workloads, the A10 or L4 offer better value. NVLink bandwidth (112 GB/s) is too low for serious distributed training.
The median on-demand price across providers has risen about 84% since August 2025, from $0.41 to $0.75/hr per GPU. This reflects the market-wide median, which moves both when providers change prices and when lower or higher priced offerings enter the market.
With 24GB of VRAM, the A5000 can typically run 7B to 13B models in FP16, or larger models in 4-bit quantized form.
The A5000 has 24GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.
The A5000 has 768 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.
The A5000 supports 6 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: INT4, INT8.
Yes. The A5000 supports NVLink with 112 GB/s of bidirectional bandwidth. This helps accelerate multi-GPU communication.
A5000 pricing currently ranges from $0.11/hr to $1.56/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.
At 720 hours per month, one A5000 can cost between $82.08 to $1,124.64 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.
The A5000 is available from 11 cloud providers, including Cirrascale, Exoscale, Runpod. Pricing and availability vary by region and billing model.
