Its 48 GB of GDDR6 ECC memory makes it possible to run models locally that the L4 and T4 cannot load as easily, including Llama 70B, Mixtral 8x7B, multimodal models and quantised versions of models with more than 100 billion parameters.<\/p>\n<p>Its fourth-generation Tensor Cores accelerate mixed-precision operations such as <strong>FP16, BF16 and INT8<\/strong>, which form the foundation of modern inference performance. In Llama 70B inference benchmarks, the L40S generates approximately 800 tokens per second, compared with around 200 for the L4 and 80 for the T4.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond inference, the L40S can also be used for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Light training using LoRA or QLoRA on models with between 7B and 13B parameters.<\/li>\n<li>Fine-tuning computer vision models.<\/li>\n<li>Image generation with Stable Diffusion XL.<\/li>\n<li>Running equivalent generative models at high speed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Its main limitation is power consumption. <strong>350 W per GPU<\/strong> requires active cooling, servers with high-capacity power supplies and considerable operating costs. In high-density racks, thermal management is a critical factor that must be planned from the infrastructure design stage.<\/p>\n<p>To complement this GPU with the appropriate server platform, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/ibertronica.es\/blog\/productos\/workstations-inteligencia-artificial-deep-learning-2026\/\"><strong>AI workstation guide<\/strong><\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/ibertronica.es\/servidores-para-ia\"><strong>AI servers<\/strong><\/a> available in our catalogue.<\/p>\n<h2>NVIDIA L4: the most energy-efficient option<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>NVIDIA L4<\/strong> is one of the most energy-efficient data centre GPUs of its generation. With a TDP of just 72 W and a single-slot PCIe form factor, it delivers excellent performance per watt, making it the right option in more scenarios than might initially appear.<\/p>\n<p>Its 24 GB of GDDR6 ECC memory is sufficient for inference using small and medium-sized models, including Llama 7B, Mistral 7B and compact vision models, while maintaining competitive latency.<\/p>\n<p>Its main use cases include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>VDI:<\/strong> its low power consumption enables densities of up to 24\u201332 sessions per GPU, depending on the user profile, reducing the cost per workstation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cloud gaming:<\/strong> it provides graphics acceleration and video encoding in a compact and efficient format.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Video streaming:<\/strong> it includes hardware support for AV1, H.265 and H.264 encoding and decoding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI inference:<\/strong> it is suitable for small and medium-sized models.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Edge computing:<\/strong> its low power consumption and compact format make it possible to install it in environments with limited electrical capacity or without conventional data centre cooling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>NVIDIA T4: when it still makes sense<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>NVIDIA T4<\/strong> uses the Turing architecture and was launched in 2018, but describing it as completely obsolete would be inaccurate.

The single-slot form factor of the L4 and T4 makes it possible to install more GPUs per server than the dual-slot L40S. This can reduce the number of servers required to achieve a given inference capacity in energy-efficient workloads.<\/p>\n<h2>Compatible servers<\/h2>\n<p>All three GPUs use a PCIe interface and are compatible with many standard rack servers in 1U, 2U and 4U formats. However, there are several important practical considerations.<\/p>\n<h3>Servers for the NVIDIA L40S<\/h3>\n<p>The L40S, with a 350 W TDP and dual-slot form factor, requires:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High-capacity redundant power supplies.<\/li>\n<li>Active cooling systems designed for heavy workloads.<\/li>\n<li>Sufficient space for dual-slot GPUs.<\/li>\n<li>Airflow optimised for continuous workloads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Platforms such as the <strong>Dell PowerEdge R750xa, HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus and Supermicro 4124GS<\/strong> are common options for this type of configuration.<\/p>\n<h3>Servers for the NVIDIA L4 and T4<\/h3>\n<p>The L4 and T4 are considerably more flexible thanks to their single-slot form factor and low power consumption. They can be installed in high-density servers with up to eight GPUs per node without the same thermal and electrical requirements as the L40S.<\/p>\n<p>This makes them particularly suitable for scale-out infrastructures, VDI, video, edge computing and distributed inference.<\/p>\n<p>See our <a href=\"https:\/\/ibertronica.es\/marcas\/nvidia\"><strong>NVIDIA catalogue<\/strong><\/a> to discover the options currently available.<\/p>\n<h2>Is it worth waiting for the Blackwell successor?<\/h2>\n<p>NVIDIA\u2019s Blackwell architecture is already available across several market segments. In the inference server and VDI segment, where the L40S, L4 and T4 compete, NVIDIA is evolving its product portfolio towards new solutions based on this architecture.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it is worth waiting depends on the needs of each project:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Infrastructure required within the next three to six months:<\/strong> the Ada-based L40S and L4 remain valid options. The arrival of a new generation does not mean that existing models immediately become obsolete.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Planning over two or three years:<\/strong> it may make sense to evaluate the Blackwell alternatives available for this segment. Improvements in energy efficiency and Tensor Cores can have a direct impact on long-term TCO.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>What is the main difference between the L40S and the L4?<\/h3>\n<p>The L40S has twice the memory, with <strong>48 GB compared with 24 GB<\/strong>, more than twice the computing power and almost five times the energy consumption, at 350 W compared with 72 W. The L40S is designed for heavy inference workloads and large models, while the L4 prioritises efficiency in VDI, cloud gaming and small- to medium-sized model inference.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the NVIDIA T4 still a valid option in 2026?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, for light inference workloads, existing production infrastructures and projects with limited budgets. For new deployments that require modern models with more than 7B parameters or demanding graphics VDI, the L4 is usually the more logical alternative.<\/p>\n<h3>Can the L40S replace an H100 for inference?<\/h3>\n<p>For inference using models with up to 70B parameters, the L40S can be a more economical alternative to the H100 and provide adequate performance for many enterprise use cases. For training large models or inference using models with more than 100B parameters without aggressive quantisation, the H100 remains the more suitable option.<\/p>\n<h3>How many L4 GPUs are equivalent to one L40S for inference?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on the model and workload. For medium-sized model inference where both GPUs have sufficient VRAM, approximately <strong>three or four L4 GPUs<\/strong> may approach the performance of one L40S. However, the cost, power consumption, inter-GPU communication and complexity of managing multiple devices must also be considered.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the L4 suitable for running LLMs locally in a company?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, particularly for models with up to 13B parameters in quantised INT8 or INT4 versions. Models such as Llama 13B or Mistral 7B can run smoothly on an L4. For models with 70B parameters or more, the L40S represents a more viable minimum option.<\/p>\n<h3>Which GPU should a medium-sized company choose for an AI pilot project?<\/h3>\n<p>For a medium-sized company that wants to test local inference without making a large investment, the <strong>NVIDIA L4<\/strong> is a balanced entry point: affordable pricing, low power consumption, 24 GB of VRAM and compatibility with common frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorRT and vLLM.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you need help defining the right GPU server configuration for your infrastructure?<\/strong> Our technical team can advise you on choosing and sizing the system according to your actual workload.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing between the NVIDIA L40S, L4 and T4 is one of the most common \u2014and most misunderstood\u2014 decisions in AI and data centre infrastructure.
