Holy moley, $35K (after discount) for the top of the line box. Maybe I'll look around for a used one of those in about 10 years.

- jrockway 6y agoThat build includes $18,000 worth of graphics cards. If you need it, you need it, and there's no competition in that space, so it's expensive. But, if you aren't doing whatever GV100s are good at (machine learning? raytracing?) then you can probably get a C++ compilation rig and web browser with 64 cores for ~$10,000. (I suppose that's another "if you need it, you need it" case. But at least more straightforward to the software engineers among us -- if you have more than 64 C++ files to compile... the 64 core chip can be useful. Even "go test ./..." in a moderately-sized project uses all 32 of my non-pro threadripper cores. Briefly. Not doing as much work as the C++ compiler. :)
