Today, NVIDIA announced two new Workstation GPUs as part of the new Ampere architecture, the same architecture as the highly revered RTX 3080 and RTX 3090. The new NVIDIA RTX A6000 and A40 feature new RT Cores, Tensor Cores, and CUDA cores that accelerate graphics, rendering, compute, and AI significantly faster than previous generations. Despite what the name might suggest, the RTX A6000 seems to actually be the successor the Quadro RTX 8000, sharing its same 48GB of GDDR6, expandable to 96GB when using two cards over an NVLink. The A40 is the same card, but intended for use in servers.

There have been several (lucky) early adopters to these cards, all with good things to say:
The details of these GPUs are a bit sparse from NVIDIA’s official release, but leaks show the A6000 to have 10,752 CUDA cores, 336 third generation Tensor cores, and 84 second generation Ray-Tracing cores. The official information provided is as follows
Availability should start within the next few months. A wide range of NVIDIA RTX A6000-based workstations are expected from the major systems manufacturers, including BOXX, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. A wide range of NVIDIA A40-based servers are expected from the usual suspects, including Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, and Lenovo. The RTX A6000 will also be available from channel partners including PNY, Leadtek, Ingram Micro, Ryoyo and on nvidia.com starting in mid-December. The NVIDIA RTX A6000 and NVIDIA A40 will be available from OEM workstation and server vendors worldwide starting early next year. Check with OEM vendors for details on availability. Support for NVIDIA virtual GPU software, including Quadro Virtual Workstation, will be available early next year. No word on pricing, but expect workstation GPU prices.
