No price is listed on their site so I'm assuming its gonna be stupid expensive, but if anyone knows would you mind posting?

Previous AMD/Xilinx Alveo are in the $5000 to $20,000 range USD. I'd assume somewhere around there, or maybe even a bit higher.

EDIT: 75W is a smaller card than I expected. "Inference" also usually means "cheaper". so maybe we can be optimistic with $5000-ish ??

Anyone shocked by the price, remember that this is an FPGA-line from Xilinx. Not a GPU from Radeon. Expect very high prices.

Probably because it's a product aimed at datacenters and cloud providers who work directly with Xilinx/AMD to develop it, so they already know the price.

It’s 1,995$ - I tried to order when it was announced.

What TOPS means exactly in "... TOPS*|(INT8) 404 ..." ?

TOPS - Trillions of Operations Per Second, used as a benchmark to figure out the performance of the accelerator.

In my experience, mostly a marketing number, higher TOPS doesn't actually mean it'll be faster than something with a lower TOPS.

As always, you need to do your own benchmarks with your use case in mind.
