alt Hacker NewsHow is the capex on 8 * MI354X even remotely justified at less than $10/h?
Even without the base system, power and every other expenses: 365d * 24h * $2.95 = $25842/a invoicable.
That doesn't add up within one year, that doesn't add up in three years and it is questionable that it brings in the money during the lifetime of the device?

Is anyone actually renting them out that cheap? The very cheapest on-demand price I see online is $14, and most providers are a lot higher
That can’t be real. Modal rents out an RTX 6000 Pro for more than that. Nvidia will rent your GPUs at a fixed cheap rate if you buy from them. Perhaps AMD has a different subsidy style program. Because those MI355X are going cheap here.
Where do you see less than $10/h for 8 * MI354X? I can only find $2.50 for 1 * MI355X (lowest I can find for rent on other websites is $2.65, but maybe they got a better deal).
