The NVIDIA Ada Lovelace L4 Tensor Core GPU delivers universal acceleration and energy efficiency for video, AI, virtualized desktop, and graphics applications in the enterprise, in the cloud, and at the edge. With NVIDIA’s AI platform and full-stack approach, L4 is optimized for video and inference at scale for a broad range of AI applications, including recommendations, voice-based AI avatar assistants, generative AI, visual search, and contact center automation to deliver the best personalized experiences.

As the most efficient NVIDIA accelerator for mainstream, servers equipped with L4 enable up to 120X higher AI Video performance over CPU solutions, while providing 2.7X more generative AI performance, and over 4X more graphics performance versus the previous generation NVIDIA T4. NVIDIA L4’s versatility and energy-efficient, single-slot, low-profile form factor make it ideal for global deployments, including edge locations.

Real-time AI Video Pipeline Performance

Transform video applications with the power of NVIDIA L4. Whether streaming live to millions of viewers, enabling users to build creative stories, delivering immersive AR/VR experiences, servers equipped with L4’s hardware-accelerated video encoders and decoders allow hosting up to 1040 AV1 video-streams at 720p30 for mobile users concurrently (Measured performance: AV1 low-latency encode with p1 preset).

With the fourth-generation Tensor Core technology with added FP8 precision support and 1.5X larger GPU memory, NVIDIA L4 GPUs paired with the CV-CUDA library take video content understanding to a new level. L4 delivers 120X higher AI Video performance than CPU based solutions for the entire end-to-end pipeline, enabling enterprises to gain real-time insights to provide personalized content, improve search relevance, detect objectionable content, and implement smart space solutions.

Generative AI Performance

Generative AI application capabilities in image and text generation make customer lives more convenient and experiences more immersive across all industries. NVIDIA L4 supercharges computationally intensive generative AI inference by delivering up to 2.7X higher performance compared to the NVIDIA T4. And, with 50% more memory capacity, L4 enables larger image generation up to 1024x768, not possible on the T4 GPU.

High Energy Efficiency and Low TCO

As AI and video become more pervasive, the demand for efficient, cost effective computing is increasing more than ever. NVIDIA L4 GPUs deliver up to 120X better AI video performance, resulting in up to 99% better energy efficiency and lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional CPU-based infrastructure. This enables enterprises to reduce rack space and significantly lower the overall carbon footprint while making their data centers capable of scaling to many more users.

The energy saved by switching from CPUs to NVIDIA L4s in a 2MW data center can power over 2,000 homes for one year or the carbon offset from 172,000 trees grown over 10 years. (results from the EPA calculator using 935MW savings)

Optimized Graphics Performance

With third-generation RT cores and AI-powered DLSS 3, NVIDIA L4 delivers over 4X higher performance for AI-based avatars, NVIDIA Omniverse™ virtual worlds, cloud gaming, and virtual workstations enabling creators to build real-time cinematic- quality graphics and incredibly detailed scenes for an immersive visual experience not possible with CPUs.

Sustainable Workload Acceleration

The NVIDIA L4 is an integral part of the NVIDIA data center platform. Built for video, AI, virtual workstation (vWS), graphics, simulation, data science, and data analytics, the platform accelerates over 3,000 applications and is available everywhere at scale, from data center to edge to cloud, delivering both dramatic performance gains and energy-efficiency opportunities.

Optimized for mainstream deployments, L4 delivers a low-profile form factor operating in a 72W low-power envelope, making it an efficient, cost-effective solution for any server or cloud instance from NVIDIA’s partner ecosystem.

Enterprise Ready: AI Software Streamlines Development and Deployment
