PNY Tesla are professional graphics cards with NVIDIA reference design, which would be more correct to call expensive supercomputers. Tensor cores of NVIDIA accelerators provide unprecedented performance in really heavy tasks. It's not about Cyberpunk 2077 in 4K on ultra, but working with artificial intelligence, deep machine learning, analyzing huge amounts of data, cloud rendering, etc. Naturally, they can also be used for more mundane tasks like mining cryptocurrencies.


In 2021, NVIDIA completely updated the Tesla line, using all the achievements of the Ampere architecture in it. The main star of the new line was the Tesla A100 GPU, which consists of 54 billion transistors, includes 6912 CUDA cores and is equipped with 40 GB of HBM2 RAM. The GPU itself is made using a 7-nm process technology at TSMC capacities and works on the basis of a 5120-bit memory bus, which will surely appeal to miners. After all, the card has an unprecedented level of computing power, producing about 15 Tflops in single-precision operations and 7.5 Tflops in double.

And indeed, in the production of cryptocurrencies, PNY TEsla accelerators have no equal. The Tesla A100 produces 94 MHASH/s when mining Ethereum coins, which is almost one and a half times more than the results of the overclocked NVIDIA Titan V model. If we move away from mining, then NVIDIA A100 scores a record 446 points in the overall universal rendering of the OctaneBench benchmark, bypassing the monstrous NVIDIA Titan V by 11% and almost 45% ahead of NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000. And this, for a moment, is the most powerful professional graphics card from the Turing generation. NVIDIA was well aware of what they had done, so the prices for Tesla models in 2021 can reach 8K dollars.
