Performance Analysis

The RTX 4070 SUPER's 35.5 TFLOPS FP16 and FP32 ratings dwarf the T4's 8.1 TFLOPS, delivering over four times the raw compute power for both training and inference workloads. This delta means the RTX 4070 SUPER accelerates neural network operations substantially faster: training epochs complete in less time due to higher FP32 throughput, while inference latency drops for real-time applications. Memory bandwidth plays a key role: 504 GB/s on the RTX 4070 SUPER versus 320 GB/s on the T4 allows larger batch sizes without bottlenecks, enabling efficient processing of bigger models or datasets. However, the T4's 16 GB VRAM exceeds the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB, supporting slightly larger models at the cost of speed. Power draw differs markedly at 220 W for the RTX 4070 SUPER against 70 W for the T4, impacting density in multi-GPU deployments.
