The Tesla P40 was a data center GPU by NVIDIA, launched on September 13th, 2016. Built on the 16 nm process, and based on the GP102 graphics processor, the GPU supports DirectX 12. The GP102 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 471 mm² and 11.8 billion transistors. It features 3840 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 24 GB GDDR5 memory with the Tesla P40, which is connected using a 384-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1303 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1531 MHz, memory is running at 1808 MHz (7.2 Gbps effective). Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA Tesla P40 draws power from an 8-pin EPS power connector, with power draw rated at 250 W maximum. This card has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Tesla P40 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. The card a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 5,699 US Dollars.
