No more NVLink on the-cards-formerly-known-as-quadro, so if your models are VRAM hungry you may be constrained by the ada6ks. PCIe 5 and Genoa/Sapphire Rapids might even this out, but I am not on the product development side of things and am not fully up to speed on next-gen and there have been lots of delays on the cpu/motherboards.

Also, the TDPs for pretty much all of the Ada cards are massive and will make multi-gpu configurations difficult and likely limited to 2x.

NVIDIA has killed off the the dgx workstation so they are pretty committed to keeping the H100s a server platform.

There still isn’t much real world info, as there are very few of any of these cards in the wild.

Here are some benchmarks for the H100 at least https://lambdalabs.com/gpu-benchmarks And are useful for comparing to to Ampere-gen.
