There absolutely is. The current form factor is not standard PCIe. It is a OAM/UBB board that is custom designed by AMD to support Infinity Link. It only comes in an 8x configuration. Now, you're asking for a totally different design and that requires a huge investment that would take away from their existing focus on enterprise.

- gymbeaux 2y agoI just want the card, not an entire server with a cluster of them. You can’t get an MI300X on eBay. But yes I didn’t realize they don’t come in the standard PCIe form factor. Their previous Instict “GPUs” did. They should have considered the RX 480 approach for the Instinct accelerators.
- latchkey 2y agoWhat you're asking for is HPC level of compute, but as a consumer product. They moved away from that market because they realized that it wasn't going to compete with the AI farms that Nvidia is building with companies like CoreWeave. The 355x is going to move even further away cause it'll require even more high end datacenter deployments. So, on one hand, people want them to compete with Nvidia, but on the other hand we want them to ignore the market that is actually going to make them money. As much as it would be nice to have, we can't have it both ways. The middle ground is to rent a single one from us billed by the minute (or another neocloud). We handle all the detailed problems for you (don't forget the massive upfront capex spend), and you get to build your products/companies on that. Once you grow to the point of being able to buy your own equipment, we can even help you deploy it.
