The Nvidia Tesla product line competed with AMD's Radeon Instinct and Intel Xeon Phi lines of deep learning and GPU cards.
Nvidia retired the Tesla brand in May 2020, reportedly because of potential confusion with the brand of cars.[1] Its new GPUs are branded Nvidia Data Center GPUs[2] as in the Ampere-based A100 GPU.[3]
Nvidia DGX servers feature Nvidia GPGPUs.
