The big boy’s board—80GB Nvidia A100 AIB for $12.4K

The PNY A100 80GB Tensor Core GPU AIB “delivers unprecedented acceleration at every scale—to power the world’s highest-performing elastic data centers for AI, data analytics, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications,” says the company, an electronics distributor established in 1985 in Parsippany, New Jersey. As the engine of the Nvidia data center platform, the A100 provides up to 20× higher performance than the prior Nvidia Volta generation. “The A100 can efficiently scale up or be partitioned into seven isolated GPU instances, with Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) providing a unified platform that enables elastic data centers to dynamically adjust to shifting workload demands,”
