Features
The NVIDIA Ada Lovelace L4 Tensor Core GPU delivers universal acceleration and energy efficiency for video, AI, virtualized desktop, and graphics applications in the enterprise, in the cloud, and at the edge. With NVIDIA’s AI platform and full-stack approach, L4 is optimized for video and inference at scale for a broad range of AI applications, including recommendations, voice-based AI avatar assistants, generative AI, visual search, and contact center automation to deliver the best personalized experiences.
As the most efficient NVIDIA accelerator for mainstream, servers equipped with L4 enable up to 120X higher AI Video performance over CPU solutions, while providing 2.7X more generative AI performance, and over 4X more graphics performance versus the previous generation NVIDIA T4. NVIDIA L4’s versatility and energy-efficient, single-slot, low-profile form factor make it ideal for global deployments, including edge locations.
Real-time AI Video Pipeline Performance
Transform video applications with the power of NVIDIA L4. Whether streaming live to millions of viewers, enabling users to build creative stories, delivering immersive AR/VR experiences, servers equipped with L4’s hardware-accelerated video encoders and decoders allow hosting up to 1040 AV1 video-streams at 720p30 for mobile users concurrently (Measured performance: AV1 low-latency encode with p1 preset).
With the fourth-generation Tensor Core technology with added FP8 precision support and 1.5X larger GPU memory, NVIDIA L4 GPUs paired with the CV-CUDA library take video content understanding to a new level. L4 delivers 120X higher AI Video performance than CPU based solutions for the entire end-to-end pipeline, enabling enterprises to gain real-time insights to provide personalized content, improve search relevance, detect objectionable content, and implement smart space solutions.
Generative AI Performance
Generative AI application capabilities in image and text generation make customer lives more convenient and experiences more immersive across all industries. NVIDIA L4 supercharges computationally intensive generative AI inference by delivering up to 2.7X higher performance compared to the NVIDIA T4. And, with 50% more memory capacity, L4 enables larger image generation up to 1024x768, not possible on the T4 GPU.
High Energy Efficiency and Low TCO
As AI and video become more pervasive, the demand for efficient, cost effective computing is increasing more than ever. NVIDIA L4 GPUs deliver up to 120X better AI video performance, resulting in up to 99% better energy efficiency and lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional CPU-based infrastructure. This enables enterprises to reduce rack space and significantly lower the overall carbon footprint while making their data centers capable of scaling to many more users.
The energy saved by switching from CPUs to NVIDIA L4s in a 2MW data center can power over 2,000 homes for one year or the carbon offset from 172,000 trees grown over 10 years. (results from the EPA calculator using 935MW savings)
Optimized Graphics Performance
With third-generation RT cores and AI-powered DLSS 3, NVIDIA L4 delivers over 4X higher performance for AI-based avatars, NVIDIA Omniverse™ virtual worlds, cloud gaming, and virtual workstations enabling creators to build real-time cinematic- quality graphics and incredibly detailed scenes for an immersive visual experience not possible with CPUs.
Sustainable Workload Acceleration
The NVIDIA L4 is an integral part of the NVIDIA data center platform. Built for video, AI, virtual workstation (vWS), graphics, simulation, data science, and data analytics, the platform accelerates over 3,000 applications and is available everywhere at scale, from data center to edge to cloud, delivering both dramatic performance gains and energy-efficiency opportunities.
Optimized for mainstream deployments, L4 delivers a low-profile form factor operating in a 72W low-power envelope, making it an efficient, cost-effective solution for any server or cloud instance from NVIDIA’s partner ecosystem.

NVIDIA GPU software
This section lists the NVIDIA software that is available from Lenovo.
NVIDIA vGPU Software (vApps, vPC, RTX vWS, and vCS)
Lenovo offers the following virtualization software for NVIDIA GPUs:
- Virtual Applications (vApps)
For organizations deploying Citrix XenApp, VMware Horizon RDSH or other RDSH solutions. Designed to deliver PC Windows applications at full performance. NVIDIA Virtual Applications allows users to access any Windows application at full performance on any device, anywhere. This edition is suited for users who would like to virtualize applications using XenApp or other RDSH solutions. Windows Server hosted RDSH desktops are also supported by vApps.
- Virtual PC (vPC)
This product is ideal for users who want a virtual desktop but need great user experience leveraging PC Windows® applications, browsers and high-definition video. NVIDIA Virtual PC delivers a native experience to users in a virtual environment, allowing them to run all their PC applications at full performance.
- NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (RTX vWS)
NVIDIA RTX vWS is the only virtual workstation that supports NVIDIA RTX technology, bringing advanced features like ray tracing, AI-denoising, and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) to a virtual environment. Supporting the latest generation of NVIDIA GPUs unlocks the best performance possible, so designers and engineers can create their best work faster. IT can virtualize any application from the data center with an experience that is indistinguishable from a physical workstation — enabling workstation performance from any device.
- Virtual Compute Server (vCS)
NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server (vCS) enables data centers running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Virtualization, and other supported KVM-based hypervisors to accelerate server virtualization with the latest NVIDIA data center GPUs, so that the most compute-intensive workloads, such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, and data science, can be run in a virtual machine (VM) powered by NVIDIA vGPU technology.
The following license types are offered:
- Perpetual license
A non-expiring, permanent software license that can be used on a perpetual basis without the need to renew. Each Lenovo part number includes a fixed number of years of Support, Upgrade and Maintenance (SUMS).
- Annual subscription
A software license that is active for a fixed period as defined by the terms of the subscription license, typically yearly. The subscription includes Support, Upgrade and Maintenance (SUMS) for the duration of the license term.
- Concurrent User (CCU)
A method of counting licenses based on active user VMs. If the VM is active and the NVIDIA vGPU software is running, then this counts as one CCU. A vGPU CCU is independent of the connection to the VM.
