The only reason our lab bought 20k worth of Nvidia gpu cards rather than amd was the cuda industry standard (might as wellbe). It's kind of mind boggling how much business amd must be losing over this.
- Rafuino 3y agoSo, your lab bought ~1 GPU?
- polygamous_bat 3y agoHey stop shaming the GPU poor, not everyone is Mark Zuckerberg ordering $8bn. of GPUs.

- exikyut 3y agoHey, I should go play with those workstation/server configurators now they'll have been updated to supply A100Xs and such...
- Modified3019 3y agoThat was a good decision. The amount of lamenting engineers I’ve seen over the years who’ve been given the task of trying to get more affordable AMD cards to work with enterprise functionality is nontrivial. AMD nearly borders on hostility with its silence, even if you want to throw millions at them, it’s insane. At least Nvidia, which I fucking hate, will happily hold out their hand for cash even from individuals. So now we’re in a hilarious situation where people from hobbyists to enterprise devs are hoping for intel to save the day.
