A couple? We're looking at 16 full-bandwidth Quadro GP100's with 256 PCIE lanes. That's pretty awesome, in the fullest sense of the word.
I'm interested to see what AMD does on the GPU Compute front in the near future with this beast of a platform as a foundation.
- mschuster91 9y agoHmm, you'll need some lanes for disk IO, networking and other peripherals. And of course a motherboard (and a PSU!) that can actually feed such a monster - alone 14 GPUs would consume 3.2 kW, that's more than a normal 230VAC power cord can supply. Add the 400W of two CPUs, 100-150W for RAM, 200W for fans, RAM and other peripherals and you're looking at something above 3.7 kW. edit: as a commenter above noted, the 2P version has only 128 lanes, too - which still means 6-7 GPUs. Enough power to last a few years, I'd say.
- rjbwork 9y agoAh. Bit of a shame...But yeah 6-7 full compute cards is still incredibly powerful - especially when paired with so many CPU cores.
