For servers, a comparison is even more complicated and it wouldn't be fair to just give two numbers, but I still don't think GPUs are more expensive.
... besides, none of that may matter if yours is a power budget.
- fomine3 4y agoConsumer GPUs are very cheap but prohibited to use it on datacenter.
- einpoklum 4y agoIn a datacenter you need to compare Xeon's and Epyc's with Telsa's.
- fomine3 4y agoTechnically no one prevents using Core/Ryzen series on datacenter.
- atq2119 4y agoThat only applies to Nvidia GPUs.
- fomine3 4y agoAh yes but recent consumer RADEONs are not suitable for computing task (ROCm still experimental?), while Geforce is always fine for FP32 or below.
