The NVIDIA L40S occupies the sweet spot between consumer GPUs and full datacenter accelerators. Based on Ada Lovelace, it provides 48 GB of GDDR6 with ECC and FP8 support in a standard PCIe, 350W form factor. It is purpose-built for inference-heavy deployments and workloads that need more memory than an RTX 4090 but do not justify H100-class pricing.
