NVIDIA ditches Quadro name for its new Ampere-based workstation cards

Usually we don't report about workstation and server hardware but every once in a while there's an interesting story. Earlier this year we wrote that NVIDIA had abandoned the Tesla brand name to avoid confusion. Now the company is also ditching its Quadro brand. Two new Ampere-based professional cards were revealed today; the RTX A6000 (pictured below) and RTX A40.

The RTX A6000 is a workstation card, while the RTX A40 is a datacenter product. both models feature a GA102 GPU with 10752 CUDA cores and 48GB GDDR6 memory.
