yup, 87.8% of $42,412 is just two GPUs and a PSU. Even RAM is less than 5%.

Really just the GPUs. PSUs aren’t that expensive maybe 100-200 for a good 750W-1000W one

Kind of feels like if you spend $40K on your GPU setup, you don't want to cheap out on the PSU.

Still, you're right, I have a 1200W PSU for a single RTX Pro 6000, cost ~500 something, so still the PSU shouldn't be that large part of the total budget.

$42k and a toy CPU at that. Threadripper or EPIC if it must be AMD camp, although I'd rather it weren't (_always_ some random issues on linux). TBH, if I were buying workstation at such prices, I'd probably first take a look at what HP has (since their cooling and immunity to dust is unprecedented), and then probably BOXX and Puget. For DIY there's always supermicro at such levels.

That's what I don't understand, they're shipping RTX 6000s that are PCI lane-starved. Buying a Maserati and driving it around in 3rd gear.

I've noticed that some companies have flat out dropped the high memory configurations from their lineup that were offered just months ago at inflated prices. OnePlayerX had a 128GB Strix Halo tablet, RedMagic had a 24GB Android phone - both have been removed from their sites. It's a similar situation for the new Thinkpad lineup.

The honor 400 used to be sold for 300 dollars with 12 gb of ram. Now the replacement the honor 600 comes with 8 GB at twice the price.

SSD too. The priced have tripled...

It would be great if China had more lithography machine....

All memory. SSDs are expensive, microSD is expensive, even spinning rust has inflated.
