nVidia is on its last legs, honestly. If this is the best they can come up with, forget it. What is the real world application/use case for this GPU? I doubt it would be used for autonomous driving - you could buy some cheap used Tesla P100s and toss them on a rack for a better price point IMO.

wow... uh science? for one.Smaller outfits and research groups that want to do rapidly iterate through modeling and simulation but don't have a datacenter. the A100 is about 11 times more performant than a p100 in HPC benchmarks. You can get a dgx station a100 with 4 A100s in it and run it on mains power and have the equivalent of 44 p100s under your desk (for these applications).
