Earlier quoted context omitted.

One downside is that you're paying for the GPU whether you're fully using it or not. It takes big queries to saturate a GH200, and if you're only using 10% of the capacity of the GPU it doesn't really matter that it's 10x faster. In a typical company you'll have jobs, some scheduled, some ad-hoc, at a range of sizes. Most of them won't be cost-effective to run on a GPU instance, so you need a scheduling layer that es…

The website claims it’s 10x cheaper (“10x faster on same hardware costs”) and implements SQL execution. I don’t understand why GPU saturation is relevant. If it’s 10x cheaper, it doesn’t matter if you only use 0.1% of the GPU, right? Correctness shouldn’t be a concern if it implements SQL. Curious for some more details, maybe there’s something I’m missing.

I wonder if the benefit is primarily for transactional vs analytical queries
