      I doubt they pay that much. NVIDIA charges $30k for an H100, but the lowest price on average I've seen for customers that buy hundreds of them or even thousands of them is $3,000-$4,000 per GPU. The steepest discount I have ever seen on an Intel CPU for a single customer was for a pair of Xeon Platinum 8380s, which being $20k for said pair, were being offered at an 80% discount to just $4k. Of course, this discount was offered through a workstation retailer/vendor to a client that was likely well connected. You don't need connections to get an engineering sample CPU like the one shown in this video.

    You're definitely going to want to invest in a case with a fan config you're confident will comfortably cool at least a pair of passive 2-slot accelerators. Even if you don't plan on going nVidia, the meta when it comes to accelerators is high-density capable cards (those don't come with fans), especially when it comes to used cards.

    • @KiraSlith
      @KiraSlith Рік тому

      @@itsmorefuntocompute3442 Let's see... Just eyeballing it, if you installed it in the 901's inverted layout (PCIe slots on top, CPU towards the bottom) you should be able to just fashion an air guide towards the cards, and a manual fan controller for the topmost fan. That'll give you the room and cooling to fit 2 accelerators, no matter who you choose. Be it nVidia Tesla, Radeon Instinct, Intel IA-series, or (if you're lucky enough to have that kind of access) Google's Coral Server series accelerators. Just remember to bump your fan speed if either card hits 80c, most will self-throttle at that point to protect the card, but won't complain or crash.
      P.S. If you do choose nVidia Tesla or Intel IA, DON'T use an 8-pin PCIe power cable on the accelerator. Tesla cards from Pascal onwards, and most Intel IA cards, use 8-pin EPS Power (sometimes labeled "CPU power" on PSUs) which looks identical to 8-pin PCIe, but have an extra 12v rail and an inverted pinout. If you attach 8-pin PCIe instead of 8-pin EPS you will blow the card and likely your PSU too. You can get PCIe to EPS adapters if your PSU doesn't have the extra EPS cables, just make sure you get one with a thick wire.

    • @NUCLEARARMAMENT
      @NUCLEARARMAMENT 11 місяців тому

      ​@@scouzi7201 Don't waste your time with air cooling. I built a dual socket custom cooling loop for LGA-4677 (Socket E, which is what these Sapphire & Emerald Rapids CPUs use), and the price for the D5 pump and reservoir combo ($80), two Byski LGA-4677 waterblocks ($100), EPDM tubing (15 ft, about $50), 16 G 1/4" BSPP threaded soft-tube compression fittings ($50), and a couple of 420 mm Hardware Labs GTS 420s (30 mm thick/420 mm long radiators, $150), all came out to about $430, which is nothing for a system like this that will easily dissipate 360 W per CPU or 720 W for both chips at full load without any overclocking.
      1,000+ W dissipation for two of these [60-cores] even mildly overclocked (10%-20%) is not unheard of in heavy-handed in either vectorized or multithreaded workloads. In fact the Xeon W-3495X with 56 cores at stock manages 700+ W heat loads in AVX-512 full-width vectorized workloads, so two of them would hit 1,400+ W at stock. The air cooler (a Noctua UH14S meant for LGA-4677) was hitting 90-100+ C whereas the max junction temperature for this CPU is less than 90 C, and you don't want to operate above that 24/7 especially when you need to run mission critical workloads for extended periods of time. The heatsink is also $125 each, so it's cheaper than the $430 watercooling setup I specified earlier, but your temperatures will be at least 30-40 C worse for the wattage heat dissipation.
      Trust me, spare yourself the headache and invest in watercooling, and enjoy an extra decade or more in lifespan versus air cooling; not to mention you never have to worry about case or DIMM clearance issues again if you go with watercooling.

Intel only seperated their xeon lineup in 2 separate brandings (Workstation and scalable) at the E0 stepping . Just to prepare the consumer samples we can buy. So your 8490h ES could work on a w790 mb if it is a D0 (probably since it is the most common).

      ​@@itsmorefuntocompute3442I'd probably have called ChatGPT4 (which I do use myself) a set of smart algorithms. However: ChatGPT only reacts to something - no matter what it is.
      An AGI should be able to proactively act instead of just reacting. So given it knows how the world works, I'd expect it to want to improve / change it (for the better or for worse).
      But as you said, there are different definitions of what an AGI supposedly is.

      If you see "confidential" on an Intel processor, that means it's an engineering sample(pre-release CPU). It's from some manufacturer/OEM and made it's way to ebay. It's not technically legal to sell(property of Intel), might not function correctly(early engineering samples of a product may be substantially different than the release product), and may have been intentionally mistreated(for example, if it went to be used in cooler design). There are tons out there, it's not like you're going to get in serious trouble owning one, but you're never going to get any support/warranty, and you have to hope you don't get a weird/early/fried one.

      ​@@Grimmwolddsin my 30 years of building stuff and dealing with PCs in general, I have never had to rely on any kind of CPU warranty. In fact usually a CPU either works or it doesn't and in most cases as a mere mortal you will not get any kind of meaningful support except for if that particular die had issues. And even then you might've had to contact your dealer instead of Intel.
      Sure, for bigger enterprise companies, there are better support contracts and SLAs, but they usually are very expensive and don't make sense anyway.
      That said, buying used gear on e.g. eBay is always risky anyway.
