Sure, great, but if they could build this to support Deep Learning and renegade HPC, I suspect they could sell 10,000+ units/year on the down-low. That would be $10M in revenue, maybe twice that if it also worked with Macs.
NVIDIA will do their worst to shut this down because it's a direct threat to DGX-1 running neural networks that aren't entirely communication-limited (long story), but if they could throw this together, I think they could make a great quick buck before the axe falls.
- minxomat 10y agoIf you take a look at their clients, it's mostly massive companies that probably order large lots of OEM solutions. I don't think amfeltec needs the scale or rather isn't already at the scale you are talking about (margin, not turnover), by enterprise tax and support for OEM builds alone. The 4x splitters go for about $200. But if you want guaranteed compatibility (i.e. a full build), the price (and margin for them) will skyrocket.
- Unklejoe 10y agoHow could Nvidia really shut them down? It seems like they're just selling PCIe switches. I could be missing something, but I don't see anything even remotely infringing about this.
