Michael Larabel probably knows this, but nobody pays list prices in these segments. Especially not for Intel CPUs, not now.

- tmikaeld 5y agoYou're of course right, but this signals that Ampere might negotiate even better batch pricing.
- dogma1138 5y agoAmpere probably won’t see a wide enough adoption to justify volume discounts right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if offer funds for companies to buy into their ecosystem in the first place.
- Retric 5y agoGenerally true, but sometimes individuals and small companies do pay list prices. And of course Ampere can always discount prices for bulk orders etc.
- dogma1138 5y agoSmall companies buy from system integrators that get volume discounts. Individuals at this point probably buy them off eBay especially the “ghost” SKUs that are only available for exascale customers.
- gautamcgoel 5y agoIf I was building a cloud company and wanted 1000 CPUs, how could I go about getting a discount below list price?
