It's hilarious that not a single one of these has pricing listed anywhere public.

I don't think they expect anyone to actually buy these.

Most companies looking to buy these for developers would ideally have multiple people share one machine and that sort of an arrangement works much more naturally with a managed cloud machine instead of the tower format presented here.

Confirming my hypothesis, this category of devices more or less absent in the used market. The only DGX workstation on ebay has a GPU from 2017, several generations ago.

Nvidia doesn’t list prices because they don’t sell the machines themselves. If you click through each of those links, the prices are listed on the distributor’s website. For example the Dell Pro Max with GB10 is $4,194.34 and you can even click “Add to Cart.”

I don't mean the small GB10s.

If you try to find the pricing of the GB300 towers even on the manufacturer sites, you'll see that it's not listed for any of the six or so models.

Because that's a different price point, that's getting near 100K, and the availability is very limited. I don't think they're even selling it openly, just to a bunch of partners...

The MSI workstation is the one that is showing some pricing around. Seems like some distributors are quoting USD96K, and have a wait time of 4 to 6 weeks [0]. Other say 90K and also out of stock [1]

Isnt that because nobody has released one yet? They are brand new

I don't think it's so odd, very few products above ~$50k have final prices listed for anyone to buy 1-click.

fookerOP2mo ago

Workstations above 50k are not that uncommon.

Older xeon based workstations easily reach that number.

If you put a 50 or 80K workstation in the HP store, it will say:

"Purchasing limit reached. To complete your order and provide you with the best customer experience, please call 1-877-888-8235"

'Important' people in organizations get them. They either ask for them, or the team that manages the shared GPU resources gets tired of their shit and they just give them one.

Yes, I agree this is the use case.

Since the user here is not paying for it directly, the manufacturer does not have any incentive to list prices anywhere.

There were plenty of them around when I worked at Nvidia. They definitely exist.

You have seen plenty of third party GB300 DGX workstations?
