A10G Technical Overview
The A10G is an inference-focused GPU commonly used in AWS G5 instances. It offers a good balance of Tensor Core performance and VRAM for serving models up to ~7B parameters.
Pricing Analysis
AWS's cheapest A10G option starts at $1.0060/hr, which is 32% below the market average of $1.4859/hr. AWS currently offers on-demand pricing only for A10G. This means no commitment required, but you won't access the deeper discounts available from reserved or spot pricing.
