$129k for this machine. In the keynote its interesting that they mentioned the product line being: "Tesla M40 for hyperscale, K80 for multi-app HPC, P100 for scales very high, and DGX-1 for the early adopters".

The GP100/P100 with the 16nm process probably gives a considerable performance/power advantage over the Tesla... but this gives me the feeling that we may not see consumer or workstation-level Pascal boards for a while.

I was wondering about this too, the way they plugged old K80's at the end for non-deep-learning applications. Either they're clever about keeping multiple product lines alive (more profits!) or it's a big cop-out (they're hiding something about P100 that makes it a bad choice for GPGPU - maybe price?)
$129k seem extremely fair for what you get actually, in my experience.
