So a new car, or an AI rig. That's a bitter pill to swallow. Most of this is the cost of the Nvidia card, and the RAM.
Graphics: (...) +$18,399 192 GB Dual NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 w/ 1000W + 750W PSUs (non-refundable) +$37,239 Memory: (...) 192 GB DDR5 3600 MHz (4x48) +$1,874 yup, 87.8% of $42,412 is just two GPUs and a PSU. Even RAM is less than 5%.
It only costs $40,000.
People routinely buy cars that cost double that. This is a machine that people that typically earn six figure salaries use to do their work on. Exactly the target demographic that would buy/lease expensive cars as well. And then those get used mainly to commute to work. I don't really need one. But I do have a 4.5K mac book pro for work. Yes it's a bit overpowered. But it's the main vehicle with which I earn a living…
How is this interesting compared to either a Mac Studio or Nvidia Spark? Did I miss something?
I thought it was a pricing mistake. But no, you just have to select the variations. $42,412.00
I wonder what the target audience for this price range is? At that price point I would rather go for a single H100.

Though I don't think there's anything stopping you from trying to stuff an H100 into this machine if you want to BYO.
The CPU market seems to be missing the "HEDT" platform we used to enjoy.
That memory speed drop going from single DIMM per channel DDR5 to dual DIMM per channel is very much notable - 3600MT/s is barely any faster than what DDR4 could do in it's final days. The CPU market seems to be missing the "HEDT" platform we used to enjoy.
