AWS yes. Nvidia, not so sure. When you buy a 1080ti you are competing with gamers and miners (and maybe others). There's nothing to subsidize, in fact those cards are selling above MSRP, because they aren't selling an ecosystem but a physical card.

There's nothing to subsidize, in fact those cards are selling above MSRP, because they aren't selling an ecosystem but a physical card. Those cards are also irrelevant to the comparison as they can't be bought in large capacities for ML workloads. We're talking about Titan-V's and DGX-1's here.
- eanzenberg 9y agoAre you suggesting the Titan-V price is subsidized by Nvidia?
- ndesaulniers 9y agoLet's revisit your original point: > Pricing is kind of irrelevant since they can subsidize this to create that story. You seemed to imply they == google. My point is that it could cut both ways.
