The consumer hardware channel just hasn't caught up yet -- we'll see a lot more desktop kit appear in 2025 on retail sites (there is a small site in UK selling Nvidia A100 workstations for £100K+ each on a Shopify store)

Seem to remember a similar point in late 90s and having to build boxes to run NT/SQL7.0 for local dev

Expect there will be a swing back to on-prem once enterprise starts moving faster and the legal teams begin to understand what is happening data-side with RAG, agents etc.




> Nvidia A100 workstations for £100

This seems extremely overpriced.


I've not looked properly but I think it's 4 x 80gb A100s
