I'm not sure you can get a discount for any purchase, since 100% will be sold anyway.

  In high volume you cut out various middlemen so the price can be lower while the per-die revenue remains the same.

    There’s still something to be said for inherent price insensitivity for the national labs.

    There isn’t a middleman for this configuration you can only get the NVLINK ones from NVIDIA.

      I don't know for sure obviously, but based on my time in the semiconductor industry they will force lower volume sales through distribution (even if the part is not generally available). This is for financial risk and supply chain reasons (e.g. RMAs, shipping/customs/tax/duty).
