NVIDIA Data Center GPU L20
The NVIDIA L20 is an enterprise dual-slot PCIe accelerator built on the Ada Lovelace GPU architecture, tailored to comply with US export control thresholds for delivery into the Chinese data center market. Equipped with 48GB of GDDR6 memory with ECC and an aggregate bandwidth of 864 GB/s, it features 11,776 CUDA cores, 368 4th-generation Tensor Cores, and 92 3rd-generation RT Cores within a 275W power envelope. It is heavily utilized for mid-sized LLM inference, video transcoding, visual computing, and cloud workstation virtualization. Second-hand buyers should confirm that server PCIe airflow meets passive cooling thermal specifications and check power cable connectors.
