I really wish I had the kind of money to try my hands at it.

Looks like a pretty useful offering, 128Gb Memory Unified, with the ability to be chained. IN the Uk release price looks to be £2999.99 Nice to see AI Inference becoming available to us all, rather than using a GPU ..3090etc.

I would hold my horses and see if the specs are actually true and not overblown like for the spark otherwise there are better options.

All Sparks only have a memory bandwidth of 270 GB/s though (about the same as the Ryzen AI Max+ 395), while the 3090 has 930 GB/s.

(Edit: GB of course, not MB, thanks buildbot)

You can rent GPUs from many providers for a few bucks an hour.

Seems this is basically DGX Spark with 1TB of disk so about $1000 bucks cheaper. DGX Spark has not been received well (at least online, Carmack saying it runs at half the spec, low memory bandwidth etc.) so perhaps this is way to reduce buyers regret, you are out only $3000 and not $4000 (with DGX Spark).

I believe you mean GB/s?

Funny to wakeup and see this on the front page - I literally just bought a pair last night for work (and play) somewhat on a whim, after comparing the available models. This one was available the soonest & cheapest, CDW is giving 100 off even, so 2900 pre tax.
