NVIDIA is responding to the increasing demand for professional graphics capabilities by introducing two new GPUs based on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture for desktops: the NVIDIA RTX A400 and NVIDIA RTX A1000.
These additions to the RTX lineup bring AI and ray-tracing technologies to professionals, providing them with the necessary tools to enhance their daily workflows.
RTX A400
The RTX A400 GPU introduces accelerated ray tracing and AI capabilities to the RTX 400 series GPUs. With 24 Tensor Cores dedicated to AI processing, it outperforms traditional CPU-based solutions, enabling professionals to utilize advanced AI applications directly on their desktops. The GPU also supports real-time ray tracing, empowering creators to produce lifelike 3D renders with unmatched realism.
Featuring four display outputs – a first for its series, the A400 is well-suited for high-density display setups essential in various industries such as finance, command and control, retail, and transportation.
RTX A1000
The NVIDIA RTX A1000 GPU marks a significant advancement by bringing Tensor Cores and RT Cores to the RTX 1000 series for the first time. This unlocks accelerated AI and ray-tracing performance for creatives and professionals alike. With 72 Tensor Cores and 18 RT Cores, the A1000 delivers over 3x faster generative AI processing and up to 3x acceleration in graphics and rendering tasks compared to the previous generation. It excels in video processing as well, offering increased encode streams and faster decode performance.
Single-slot, Low Power Designs
Both the A400 and A1000 GPUs feature a sleek, single-slot design and consume just 50W, making them ideal for compact, energy-efficient workstations.
These new GPUs extend the reach of RTX technology, enabling users to enhance productivity and unlock creative possibilities. From industrial planning to content creation, from architectural design to medical imaging, professionals across various fields can leverage these powerful computing solutions to push the boundaries of their work.
The RTX A400 and A1000 GPUs come equipped with second-generation RT Cores for real-time ray tracing, third-generation Tensor Cores for accelerated AI processing, and Ampere architecture-based CUDA cores for significant speedups in graphics and compute workloads. Additionally, they offer 4GB and 8GB of GPU memory, efficient video processing engines, and support for high-resolution video editing and playback.
Availability
The NVIDIA RTX A1000 GPU is already available through global distribution partners such as PNY and Ryoyo Electric, while the RTX A400 GPU is expected to be available from channel partners starting in May, with anticipated availability from manufacturers in the summer.
