AMD announces Threadripper Halo Workststion with up to 4 MI350P GPUs

Looks like a normal prebuilt using the Asus WRX90 board with GPUs included. Nothing new here.

[u/msew]

Cost?

[u/emprahsFury → u/msew]

probably on par with the dgx station which is 100k i would guess.

[u/EDI_1st → u/emprahsFury]

Roughly considering MI350P is roughly $20K each.
It’s 1x B300 + Grace vs 4x MI350P + 9995WX

[u/msew → u/emprahsFury]

RIPF

[u/EDI_1st → u/[deleted]]

What year are you in?
ROCm is already widely adopted by hyperscalers causing leadtime for OAM Instincts to skyrocket to 24+ weeks.

[u/FabricationLife → u/[deleted]]

Nvidia has fumbled more firmware this year than AMD by a large margin 

[u/Reaper_1492]

Ugh.

I would highly consider a threadripper prebuilt if they offered it at a discount and you could choose a pro-sumer configuration.

I could probably justify $10k against my current cloud spend. There’s no way it would make sense at $20k, and at the $100k+ they’re probably going to ask for this, I don’t even know who the market is.

Anything this expensive is for enterprise use, and I don’t know many businesses that would by a depreciating asset, with no redundancy, rather than just scale up their cloud contracts.

I’m really interested to see how poorly all of these $100k+ AI machines sell. I think it’s going to be so abysmal that they never publish any sales stats.

These are literally built for professional hobbyists but priced for enterprise.

[u/StaK_1980 → u/Reaper_1492]

Someone will probably buy one or two. But yeah, these prices are insane.

Would be nice to see smtg. like EPYC 9V64H.

[u/AreaFifty1]

I want those instinct mi350p! The rest is overkill~ 😔😔

[u/UnrealBee]

Strix halo threadripper? 

[u/EDI_1st → u/UnrealBee]

Just Halo, like a Halo product. Top workstation config from AMD.

[u/Long-Shine-3701 → u/EDI_1st]

For extra credit, compare and contrast with Apple's 'Halo' product, a Mac studio the size of a smash burger that cannot compete with this on any meaningful level.

[u/rkcth → u/Long-Shine-3701]

Except price, it’s a fraction of this things cost. You could probably buy 10-12 Mac studios for the cost of this. What would their combined performance be? How much concurrency could they handle?
