I think you're right on the price, but just to give some false hope. I think newish hbm (and this is hbm2e which is a little older) is around $15/gb so for 128 gb thats $1920. There are some other cogs, but in theory they could sell this for like $3-4k and make some gross profit while getting some hobbyist mindshare/research code written for it. I doubt they will though, it might eat too much into profits from the non pcie variants.

You’re joking, right? They will price it to match current H100 pricing. Multiply your estimate by 10x.

They could, I know they wont, but they wouldn't lose money on the parts
> is around $15/gb

This figure is old and I dont think $15 cuts it anymore. My guess would be $20 if not exceeds it.
