I just talk about some comments I read some time ago, so take this with a grain of salt. It was my understanding that if you were spending about $300k-$500k a year in cloud services, it would make sense this type of solution, so the expected price would be something between $500k-$1M depending on the configuration

Prices are not public, but comments over the years have hinted it’s in the $500K to $1mm range. Their hardware is multiple generations behind at this point, however. I wonder if they’re starting to reduce the price because it’s hard to justify paying so much for old hardware. They could just be targeting customers who don’t care as much about performance or efficiency as they do the software stack.

  Being a few generations behind is kinda par for the course for any server hardware that's put in production, this is not a gaming PC build. Hopefully they're working on bringing their hardware up to date, since efficiency is a key consideration for the class of workloads they're aiming at.

    > Being a few generations behind is kinda par for the course for any server hardware that's put in production No it’s not. Normally if you’re buying server hardware you don’t start with a CPU that’s already 5 years old and last-generation RAM that isn’t even manufactured at scale any more. CPUs have advanced a lot in recent years. The jump from Zen 3 to Zen 5 is very substantial.

    From what they say and their podcast its pretty clear that they already have the next generation sled and likely already sell it to existing costumers, its just not on the website.

  Wanted to follow up on this, new sleds with AMD Turin (current gen CPUs) are shipping to select customers now with general availability very soon. https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/13/whats_next_for_oxide_computer/ https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/13/whats_next_for_oxide_...

Prices are high. You're not buying Oxide to save money.

  save money as compared to ? genuinely curious

  You are not buying Oxide to save 'up front' money. In the long the goal is still to save money.
