8GB GDDR5 at very low cost. INT8 inference support. Suitable for lightweight, cost-sensitive inference deployments.

When is the P4 not a good fit?

Only 8GB VRAM on Pascal architecture with no Tensor Cores. Only viable for very lightweight legacy inference or basic video transcoding.

Are P4 prices going up or down?

The median on-demand price across providers has risen about 220% since August 2025, from $0.36 to $1.17/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.

What size AI models can the P4 run?

With 8GB of VRAM, the P4 is mainly limited to small quantized models and lightweight GPU workloads.

How much VRAM does the P4 have?

The P4 has 8GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the P4's memory bandwidth?

The P4 has 192 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.

What data types does the P4 support?

The P4 supports 3 precision formats. Training: FP16, FP32. Inference: INT8.

Does the P4 support NVLink?

No. The P4 is a PCIe-only GPU with no NVLink, so it is better suited to single-GPU inference and smaller-scale workloads than large distributed training jobs.

How much does the P4 cost per hour?

P4 pricing currently ranges from $0.22/hr to $1.90/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the P4 cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one P4 can cost between $160.96 to $1,370.30 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.

Which cloud providers offer the P4?

The P4 is available from 1 cloud provider: Google Cloud.

Can I rent the P4 in the cloud?

Yes. We currently track 36 P4 listings across 1 cloud providers: Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr On-demand 9 $1.26/hr Reserved 18 $0.60/hr Spot 9 $0.25/hr

How this list works

The two views

By provider shows one card per company, placed where its best offer ranked. By configuration lists every offer.

Order

What you can rent comes first: in stock, then waitlist, then not reported, then out of stock. Priced offers rank ahead of quote-only, and on-demand ahead of other billing types.

Within a group, five factors set the order, largest first:

Location: datacenter proximity, blended with provider HQ.
Price: hourly price, per GPU and in total.
Billing type: reserved ahead of spot, spot ahead of quote-only.
Specs: more VRAM, vCPUs and RAM.
Provider diversity: in By configuration, a provider's repeat rows rank slightly lower, so one company can't take all the top spots.

Search

We match the provider, GPU model, form factor, billing type, availability and instance name. Matching is partial and case-insensitive. Everyday words work too, so "interruptible" finds spot and "sold out" finds out of stock.

Transparency and funding

Ads and sponsors: Paid placements sit at the top of the list and are always labeled as sponsored content. Sponsorship never influences the organic ranking itself.
Affiliates: Affiliate links are marked. We may earn a commission if you click them, but commissions never affect the order.
Prices: Shown in USD, converted at daily reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. A month means 720 hours. How we estimate costs.

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.
