Performance Analysis
Compute performance defines the core gap: the RTX 4070 Ti achieves 40.1 TFLOPS in both FP16 and FP32, over four times the T4's 8.1 TFLOPS. This accelerates deep learning training where FP16 precision dominates, enabling quicker iterations on large datasets, and boosts inference throughput for real-time applications.
Memory characteristics influence workload feasibility: the T4's 16 GB VRAM supports bigger models than the RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB, but the latter's 504 GB/s bandwidth versus 320 GB/s permits larger batch sizes in bandwidth-bound tasks like image generation. Ada Lovelace tensor cores enhance mixed-precision efficiency beyond Turing.
Power and pricing tilt economics: the T4's 70 W TDP suits dense clusters, yet the RTX 4070 Ti's 285 W pairs with $0.08/hr starting rates for superior perf-per-dollar in single-GPU setups.
