@imaleppert Agree getting the details on the testing would be helpful. I think NV was more pointing out that Intel were putting their latest against NV's oldest. It'd be like testing a RX480 against a GTX660. What's the use of that?
@modeless the new Azure instances have M60's or you can purchase a 1080 or new TitanX which are both available (although stock has been tight).

- modeless 10y agoYeah but Azure is also introducing new K80 instances (based on four-year-old Kepler) becuase the M60 is worse in memory capacity and memory bandwidth, and not much better in FLOPS. NVIDIA is just not putting their best hardware out there for cloud providers to use. Sure I can buy a Titan X for myself (already have), but I can't rent a hundred, or even one, on EC2 or Azure or GCE. And I can't get a P100 yet at all. I don't want to hear NVIDIA claiming unfair benchmarking and citing P100 numbers until P100s are actually available either to buy (and ship immediately) or in the cloud.
