#92When I saw the 192GB I first thought they might have beat Framework to market with a Gorgon Halo machine with unified RAM that Framework has teased. This is just a GPU workstation.

#93Can't wait for in 10 years time to find one of these workstations on eBay selling for £100-150
Then I will do a video of me playing Crysis on it

#94$37,000 in GPUs. Man, I never expected another PC manufacturer to make Apple's top configuration look cheap by comparison.
Calculate what performance you get per $ spent, and Apple again looks the most expensive out of probably anything else you could buy.
Re: Thelio Mira AI Linux Workstation: 192 GB GPU Memory
#95It 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…
> People routinely buy cars that cost double that.
Maybe it's the "routinely" or the "people" part, but "people" generally don't ever buy a 80K car, it's a small fraction of the population who can afford such luxury cars. And I'm sure the ones who buy cars for 80K, unless they're car enthusiasts or just plain billionaires, don't do so "routinely" either.

And you would buy it through your company so it won’t be quite as much net. Surely no one is buying these just for fun

Some of us worked hard in life and have spare money, sue me!

I bought a spark instead of a motorcycle so it’s somewhat relative and it’s also somewhat relative.
There was a time when I sold my computer and bought a motorcycle. Can honestly say that was one of the best trades I’ve ever done. I didn’t buy another computer for 3 more years.
Sold my computer + DLSR camera back in the day to afford moving countries. Can't imagine what life would have been if I didn't, very happy I did. Lived with a netbook for 2-3 years, but was before I was a professional programmer.

You need far more absurdly expensive RAM (RDIMM/ECC?) for a threadripper. Like 4x more expensive.
Aye but at $45k you’re so deep already is that really worth the savings? It’s so much easier to manage a single system, and the performance will be in absolute terms better. Truly, I get your point, but $45k is obscene for a workstation (because of the RAM shortage). I can’t fathom it being a reasonable decision[1] unless you’re able to churn an immense profit from it. And… if you can, it’s an expense that saves time…
> An $8k increase making a difference, when you’re wholly dependent on the frontier (or near frontier) lab not releasing a model that makes your work(station) irrelevant
Hmm, why? I don't understand why better models being available remotely would change the usefulness of what you already have working locally? If it works for you, it works, regardless of what the frontier labs have, and if it doesn't, it doesn't, again regardless.

#100I remember losing sleep when I bought my RTX Pro 6000, but somehow they keep going up in price, and waddya know I’ve even done real work that appreciates the VRAM size.
Same. Had to convince the wife, initially aimed to get two of them, ended up with one. Now my wife is berating me for not convincing her that I should have bought four and then sell two later... Can't win :)
