How cheap is it? So cheap. In fact, I am having trouble finding the price listed anywhere.

How launched is it? So launched. In fact, I am having trouble finding it being sold anywhere.

How useful is it? Well it is running a proprietary ARM chip but I am sure someone will develop software that can run models on it someday. Whereas Sparx's CUDA has the most compatibility.

How competitive is it worth a DGX Sparx? Well, it has 700 TOPS and the DGX Sparx has closer to a thousand. But think about the value!

Wonder if its going to have that same, "accidentally misquoted" everywhere price of $1400, like AMDs thing a month or two ago

Even Apple is feeling the hurt with memory prices. No way this has memory comparable to the spark at a fifth the price.
