Reserved GPU Rental/RESERVED L40S

RESERVED L40S

NVIDIA L40S 48GB

The L40S brings Ada Lovelace FP8 acceleration to the reserved market at A100-class pricing. Reserved capacity makes it strongly competitive for FP8-quantized LLM inference and visual workloads — often delivering more tokens-per-second-per-dollar than A100 80GB for recent LLMs.

AGGREGATED ACROSS
LEADING NEOCLOUDS

Compute Exchange aggregates reserved capacity from a verified network of leading AI-native cloud providers and hyperscalers. All partners undergo identity, capacity, SLA, and operational verification before quotes surface on the network.

You receive a normalized comparison across providers in a single quote response — rather than evaluating each neocloud's contract structure, billing model, and SLA terms in isolation.

WHY RESERVE

RESERVED L40S
VS ON-DEMAND

L40S has rapidly expanded across reserved providers since 2024 deployment, with reliable supply across all term tiers. For inference clusters running FP8-quantized LLMs at modest scale, reserved L40S typically wins on cost per delivered token.

Frequently Asked Questions

RESERVED L40S
KEY QUESTIONS

What term lengths are available for L40S?+
Compute Exchange aggregates L40S reserved capacity across 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36-month terms. L40S supply has expanded rapidly across reserved providers since 2024, with PCIe Gen4 deployment making it easy to provision into standard servers across regions.
When should I choose L40S reserved over A100 80GB reserved?+
For FP8-quantized LLM serving, especially recent models that ship with FP8 weight quantization. The L40S delivers 1,466 sparse FP8 TFLOPS (vs A100's lack of FP8) at competitive reserved cost. For workloads needing more than 48GB of memory or HBM bandwidth, A100 80GB still wins.
Is L40S reserved supply available across regions?+
Yes. L40S deploys easily into PCIe Gen4 servers, and reserved supply is broad across US, EU, and APAC providers. Provisioning typically completes within 1 to 2 weeks of contract signing for orders up to 256 units across all term lengths.
How does L40S reserved compare to H100 PCIe reserved?+
H100 PCIe delivers roughly 2x the FP16 throughput and HBM3 bandwidth versus the L40S's GDDR6X. For training and memory-bandwidth-bound inference, H100 PCIe wins. For FP8 inference at modest scale, L40S typically delivers better tokens-per-dollar — Ada Lovelace's fourth-generation Tensor Cores match Hopper's FP8 capability at meaningfully lower power and cost.
