Guess that is maximum many of us can afford. Hence features that are missing from A100 is a bit moot. But the update we are wait. Still based on what we saw 3090 really does not worth the money. Still 24gb is 24gb.

If you run it 24/7, anyways the cost of electricity will be much more in a year or so. If you run it sparingly, within some time cloud based 30 series will be launched for sure.

What is the price of electricity where you live? For me to pay as much as the card is worth in electricity, even running it continuously, it would take 11 years.

Granted, electricity is exceedingly cheap here, but still, 11 years is a long time.

About $0.20/kWh here. Works out to $600 a year I think

[sudosysgen]

Hmm, for it can be as low as 0.05$/kWh. Maybe I should start a compute business!

0.35 kwh * 24 hours * 365 at $0.1/kwh is $300

Google Colab seems like a nice deal if you can't afford it.

What is the vram they offer now? I forget if they give the full 24gb of k80 or not

[YetAnotherNick]

They give half of that. But most of the time you will be allotted 16gb T4 which is much nicer.

What does google get for providing this service for free?

[optimalsolver]

Full access to your data and algorithms.

[YetAnotherNick]

Any source?

[dgacmu]

A way of creating a pipeline of future customers; goodwill; increased clue and interest in machine learning, which may help them sell more platform services in the future.
