NVIDIA Data Center GPU A100 PCIe 80GB
The NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB is an enterprise-class data center GPU based on the Ampere architecture (GA100 silicon). Equipped with 80GB of high-speed HBM2e memory delivering over 2.0 TB/s bandwidth, it doubles the capacity of the original 40GB model, allowing large AI models, scientific simulation grids, and deep learning training batches to reside entirely in high-speed memory. It supports multi-instance GPU (MIG) partitioning into up to 7 hardware-isolated instances and features 3rd-generation Tensor Cores with TF32 precision. Heavily traded across AI labs and cloud data centers, second-hand buyers should check thermal pad degradation, inspect PCIe gold fingers, and verify that passive cooling airflow matches server specifications.
