$42k and a toy CPU at that. Threadripper or EPIC if it must be AMD camp, although I'd rather it weren't (_always_ some random issues on linux). TBH, if I were buying workstation at such prices, I'd probably first take a look at what HP has (since their cooling and immunity to dust is unprecedented), and then probably BOXX and Puget. For DIY there's always supermicro at such levels.
I've noticed that some companies have flat out dropped the high memory configurations from their lineup that were offered just months ago at inflated prices. OnePlayerX had a 128GB Strix Halo tablet, RedMagic had a 24GB Android phone - both have been removed from their sites. It's a similar situation for the new Thinkpad lineup.
They missed an opportunity by not adding $8
They will add $27,008 in time.
And people still don't believe Apple is giving a good deal on Macs.
Prompt processing on Macs is VERY slow...
which engine? cause there are dozens already, and some are quite fast.

That sounds like a contradiction.

I had to do a double take myself, scrolled down and arrived at a similar number.
Wish I built this a few years ago!
Yeah, I bought a Thelio Major three years ago. I'm kicking myself for not going dual-4090s for a mere $10K back then.
Hopefully it will come down to that price point or cheaper again in the next 3-4 years?

Me three
I wonder what the target audience for this price range is? At that price point I would rather go for a single H100.
I would rather take this option than a single H100:
> 96 GB Dual NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 w/ 1000W PSU (non-refundable) +$19,169
Though I don't think there's anything stopping you from trying to stuff an H100 into this machine if you want to BYO.
For that price you get the H100. The machine is overpriced, and I'd personally rather go for a second-hand workstation with server-grade components.

So a new car, or an AI rig.
That's a bitter pill to swallow. Most of this is the cost of the Nvidia card, and the RAM.
yup, 87.8% of $42,412 is just two GPUs and a PSU. Even RAM is less than 5%.
Really just the GPUs. PSUs aren’t that expensive maybe 100-200 for a good 750W-1000W one

That's what I don't understand, they're shipping RTX 6000s that are PCI lane-starved. Buying a Maserati and driving it around in 3rd gear.

The honor 400 used to be sold for 300 dollars with 12 gb of ram. Now the replacement the honor 600 comes with 8 GB at twice the price.
SSD too. The priced have tripled...
It would be great if China had more lithography machine....
All memory. SSDs are expensive, microSD is expensive, even spinning rust has inflated.
hoist by our own strategic export controls, rip
Taiwan would disagree
