A40 pricing questions
How much does it cost to rent an A40?
On-demand A40 prices start at $0.49 per GPU-hour (RunPod). The median across 2 providers is $0.49, and the most expensive is $0.49. Running one GPU around the clock costs about $358 per month at the lowest price.
Is there cheaper spot or interruptible A40 capacity?
Yes. Spot (interruptible) A40 capacity starts at $0.40 per GPU-hour, 18% below the cheapest on-demand price. Spot instances can be preempted at any time, so use them for checkpointed training or batch jobs.
How much compute do you get per dollar with the A40?
At $0.49 per hour and 0.15 PF of dense FP16/BF16, the A40 costs $3.27 per PFLOP-hour. That ranks 49 of 70 GPUs with on-demand prices on PetaPrice. Figures are datasheet peaks; real utilization is typically 30–60%.
What are the A40's key specs?
48 GB GDDR6 with 696 GB/s of memory bandwidth, Ampere architecture (2020), PCIe form factor, 300 W. Dense peak: 0.15 PF FP16 / BF16, 0.299 PF INT8, 0.0748 PF TF32, 0.0374 PF FP32, 0.0006 PF FP64.
