| Tesla through Turing | Approx. 2014–2020 | Tesla M4/M10/M40, Pascal P4/P40, Volta V100, Turing T4 | Earlier CUDA and data-center accelerator platforms with GDDR or HBM memory and PCIe Gen3/Gen4 host requirements | Exact GPU model, memory size, passive versus active cooling, tested condition, and included host or carrier are essential for older accelerator lots. |
|---|
| Ampere and early Instinct | Approx. 2020–2022 | NVIDIA A10, A30, A40, A100; AMD Instinct MI100 and MI200 | PCIe and SXM/OAM configurations, HBM or GDDR memory, higher power draw, and PCIe Gen4 or fabric interconnects | Separate PCIe cards from SXM or OAM modules and list the carrier, bridge, host chassis, power cables, and cooling configuration. |
|---|
| Hopper and MI300 | Approx. 2022–2024 | NVIDIA H100 and H200; AMD Instinct MI300X and MI300A | High-bandwidth HBM3/HBM3E or related memory, NVLink or Infinity Fabric options, and specialized multi-GPU server platforms | The difference between PCIe, SXM, OAM, and complete HGX or platform systems is critical; include the original server and interconnect context. |
|---|
| Blackwell and MI350-era accelerators | Approx. 2024–present | NVIDIA B100, B200, GB200; AMD Instinct MI350 series | Current AI and HPC platforms with HBM3E or newer memory, high-speed fabric, advanced power delivery, and platform-specific cooling | Treat current accelerators as platform assets; model, memory, board form factor, firmware, provenance, and test evidence can outweigh the host chassis name. |
