AMD launches FirePro W9100 32GB workstation graphics card

Just because you can't buy one yet doesn't mean they don't exist, sorry.

nVidia are the masters of talking about products that 'exist' but you can't buy, that's true. But for the purposes of comparison, what use is a card you can't buy?

You can sort of buy one, if you're willing to part with $130,000 you could buy the DGX-1, although that's maybe a bit of an expensive way to get your hand on a single card, i wonder how much the other bits of the server would fetch on EBay.

What use? I guess fufilling big buck HPC contracts like this for a start!

As corky says, you can order a DGX-1 if you have $130,000 burning a hole in your pocket, which gets you eight of them.

Piz Daint alone will use 4500 P100's, that is a nice pay day right there.

Ah but can you use the P100 from the DGX-1 in another computer or do you need a special connector?

sorry, I couldn't resist :-p

You could buy 44~ of these for the price of single IBM node with 8xNvidia GPU's.

it will be a blind date to go for p100 before AMD launches their beast of a compute card on the new Polaris architecture...who does not know AMD has been beating Nvidia in compute performance since time memorial?? remember the S10,000?
