- ivraatiems 8mo agoThe $12,000 one also requires it.
- isatty 8mo agoSurprisingly affordable but I’m not really interested in the 9070XT. If it shipped with like 4090+ (for a higher price) it’d be more tempting.
- dmarcos 8mo agoThey offered a version a few months ago with 4x5090 for 25k https://x.com/__tinygrad__/status/1983917797781426511 https://x.com/__tinygrad__/status/1983917797781426511 Stopped due to raising GPU prices: https://x.com/__tinygrad__/status/2011263292753526978 https://x.com/__tinygrad__/status/2011263292753526978
- ycui1986 8mo ago9070XT provide roughly same inference performance at double the power, half the cost, as RTX PRO 4500. So this one is optimized for total BOM cost.
- knollimar 8mo agoEasier to get two circuits than rewire a breaker in an office you might be renting, no? (I work for an electrical contractor so my sense of ease might be overcorrecting)
- markdown 8mo agoAnd 240v is orders of magnitude more common worldwide than 120v
- wat10000 8mo agoThe specs show that it only has one PSU. The docs just say that it has 2 and thus needs two circuits, but I’d guess that was meant to be for the more expensive one.
- ycui1986 8mo agothey could had gone with the Max-Q version RTX PRO 6000 and only require 120V circuit. 10% performance hit, but half the power. fundamentally, looks like they are shipping consumer off-the-shelf hardwares in a custom box.
- ericd 8mo agoYeah, the other big benefit is that the Max-Q's have blowers that exhaust the hot air out of the box, the workstation cards would each blow their exhaust straight into the intake of the card behind it. The last card in that chain would be cooking, as the air has already been heated up by 1800W, essentially a hair dryer on high. Or could be the server edition 6000s that just have a heatsink and rely on the case to drive air through them, those are 600W cards.
