> Nvidia K80 is a 2 years old Kepler GPU ... I would expect to see some P100 Pascal GPU "soon" on AWS. Maybe 6 months? Not likely. The AWS CG1 instance type was introduced in 2010 (NVIDIA Tesla C2050 GPU). The G2 instance type was introduced in 2013 (NVIDIA GRID K520 GPU). Now the P2 instance type has been introduced in 2016 (NVIDIA Tesla K80 GPU). At this rate, we probably won't see another GPU fleet in AWS until 2019.

I never realized Amazon was so consistently late in deploying current-gen GPUs. How lame. Sounds like an opportunity for a competitor to beat them.

  Maybe they're waiting for the old ones to recoup their investment or the new ones to get cheaper?

  It's not just Amazon. No large cloud provider offers recent GPUs. I believe the blame probably lies with NVIDIA.
