I wonder what the target audience for this price range is? At that price point I would rather go for a single H100.

I would rather take this option than a single H100: > 96 GB Dual NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 w/ 1000W PSU (non-refundable) +$19,169 Though I don't think there's anything stopping you from trying to stuff an H100 into this machine if you want to BYO.

For that price you get the H100. The machine is overpriced, and I'd personally rather go for a second-hand workstation with server-grade components.

I thought it was a pricing mistake. But no, you just have to select the variations. $42,412.00

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.

$42k and a toy CPU at that. Threadripper or EPIC if it must be AMD camp, although I'd rather it weren't (_always_ some random issues on linux). TBH, if I were buying workstation at such prices, I'd probably first take a look at what HP has (since their cooling and immunity to dust is unprecedented), and then probably BOXX and Puget. For DIY there's always supermicro at such levels.

That's what I don't understand, they're shipping RTX 6000s that are PCI lane-starved. Buying a Maserati and driving it around in 3rd gear.

So the two variants they offer is the Max-Q and the Server edition one, but only explicitly mentioned for one? Edit: The Max-Q is one of the options, what's the other option then?

Seeing as it adds a second PSU, I'm guessing the workstation one.

That's bananas, unless they also water cool them, would easily overheat if it's just two bog standard workstation cards on top of each other.

Are they possibly selling setups they haven't actually tested practically in the real world?

And people still don't believe Apple is giving a good deal on Macs.

Prompt processing on Macs is VERY slow...

That sounds like a contradiction.
