How many arms and legs does one of these cost?

>> 252GB of HBM3e at 7.1TB/s,

So it has only 256GB of actual ”AI” memory making it “useless”/toy for actual real world AI workloads(I.e it can’t replace something like opus 5)

Should work just fine for MoE models where active set fits into 252GB.

Can’t you do that already more or less with a Mac Studio with 256 or better 512fb of ram?

I don't know about "useless" (it seems quite useful to me) but I do feel mislead. It's unified memory in the same way that my current dGPU has unified memory. I guess nvlink-c2c probably (?) doesn't introduce a bottleneck but it's still two distinct arenas with very different performance characteristics.

I find it just misleading by advertising 700GB RAM as AI headline. I could plug a 32GB GPU to my 1.5TB ram server and call it “AI station with 1.5TB+ RAM” just so that you find it actually useless compared to the headlone

What is it with those stupid names?

No price, so of course this is not for the smelly working class.

I guess I'm too poor to even know the price

MSI’s DGX Station (what this is) was listed for $99K

Dell's equivalent starts at £180k.

252GB of HBM3e at 100k vs. a multi A6000 96GB setup. GB300 seem expensive in comparison at ~$100k. Am I missing something?

Without looking it up and doing the math, I bet GB300 has higher Tflops and memory bandwidth, especially when used with e.g. NVFP4.

But can it run crysis?

if not yet then it may be achievable:

Can I get 32 GB of RAM for a sane price instead?

> a Kensington slot

I think you might need a bit more than that at this price point ...

Looks like multiple vendors are seeling these:
