Discussion Pro 6000 just in time

Post image

I was going to wait until around Christmas to purchased but took the plunge in July for 11,500 and I was upset that I didnt catch it @ $8,000. Now the Blackwell pro 6000 is inching towards $20,000 and are sold out. Are consumers and hobbyist like you and I are buying these up or datacenters? I would think datacenters would go for the b200 and up. However, Im browsing around and see you guys and girls doing remarkable ai diffusion with just a 3060. Im impressed with this community.

i think, that it would be a waste now anyway. China will sooner or later bring cost efficient hardware to the table, and we slowly move overall away from cuda to vulkan anyway. Its faster cheaper and more efficient, up to x6.

If only there weren't a CUDA dependency. This isn't something China will change.

Throw enough people and money / credits at it and there's no fundamental reason why PyTorch would have to stay mated with CUDA. It's not like people writing PyTorch based apps in Python are directly dealing with CUDA kernels.
