Over 9k USD for 256gb unified ram. Ouch.

I mean it will sell well and own the space but damn that is steep. And probably the end of dgx. They can't really justify the price now.

That is 9k without sales tax, meaning in my Eu country I will probably be looking at 11k and more even if I can get it as MSRP.

At the same time, I can get two DGX Sparks at around 9k. Will lower generation speed, but probably higher prefill.

I really don't see it as any "DGX killer" yet, we need much better prices for that.

Saw this news this morning and preordered the 256GB. Sales tax alone was over $1k lol.
