    no, nvidia is estimated to earn that much profit. as “reported” via twex from money people.

    here, the tweet in full.

    > Raymond James estimates it costs Nvidia $3,320 to make a H100, which is then sold to customers for $25,000 to $30,000.

      If it was true there would immediately be competition. By “immediately” in this space I mean 2-3 years.

        No way anyone could recreate CUDA + firmware + all the other bits necessary in 2-3 years, to the same level of performance, even if given tens of billions in R&D budget.

        10 years sure.

          There are some things that money just can't buy and apparently working drivers are one of them.

          manufacturing cost == cost?

          like they don't need to pay their driver/sdk developers at all?
