Talos™ II 2U Rack Mount Server

Not at $6,089.00; they can forget that. It has to cost no more than $500 USD or this will be a repeat of the same mistake Sun Microsystems did. Will these companies ever learn?
One cannot charge enterprise prices if one wants to build an upward spiral. Intel systems dominate because they are dirt cheap and convenient to buy.
- fluffything 7y agoYou can't find a modern Intel Xeon Gold CPU for less than 2000$. If you buy 2, and a motherboard, you are already in the 6000$ ballpark, and then you still need to buy everything else (PSU, RAM, SSDs, GPGPU, etc.).
- Annatar 7y agoI can build (and have) a fully decked-out intel-based 1U server for $1,800 USD, so this Talos thing can't compete: it's not cost-effective no matter how one slices and dices it. This company is repeating the same mistake IBM, hp, SGI and Sun before it made. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat mistakes of those who came before them. Have you bought one of those Talos systems?
- fluffything 7y agoI'll believe you if you are able to provide a link to two Xeon Gold CPUs costing the same or less than the 1800$ you claim you are able to build a full 1U rack with two of them.
