NVIDIA L40 GPU accelerator

The NVIDIA L40 GPU accelerator, released in October 2022, is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 4 nm process. It features 18176 shading units, 142 ray tracing cores, and 568 Tensor/AI cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1155 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz. It is equipped with 48 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 864 GB/s. The board has a TDP of 300 W and uses a single 16-pin 12VHPWR power connector. It connects via PCIe 4.0 x16 and has no display outputs, indicating it is intended for compute and AI acceleration rather than graphics output. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.3, and OpenGL 4.6. The launch MSRP was $7999 USD.
