- nine_k 3y agoI suspect that the $ of a CPU is sometimes hard to measure in a HPC world, especially in a way that could meaningfully compare to smaller machines. What I would like to see is some W and Wh symbols, which usually cannot be subject to special bulk pricing, fluctuations due to demand and availability, etc.
- andyferris 3y agoIf you are referring to Watts and Watt-hours, then I think you should look at some of the new modern energy markets (with spot pricing).
- baq 3y agoThe (sad, maybe) truth is it won’t ever matter. If you’re buying these CPUs, you’re buying them in lots of 1k.
- nomel 3y agoI naively assume that some cost, related to per unit, power, and cooling, is included in the decision of buying these vs an alternative.
