Core 4 Solutions has listed a $59.7 million supercomputer on eBay.
The hardware cluster features 9,600 Nvidia A100 accelerators and 4,200 AMD EPYC Rome processors, spread across 300 racks.
The setup boasts 268,800 total cores and 1,401.6 TB of RAM.
This listing highlights the current availability of large-scale, high-performance computing hardware on secondary market platforms.
What does the supercomputer include?
The system has a total of 9.600 Nvidia A100 graphics cards and 4.200 AMD EPYC processors. Each individual computing unit of the system has two processors and eight graphics cards. In total, the machine has 268.800 processing cores and about 1.400 terabytes of memory. Despite the impressive amount of equipment, this is previous-generation technology, as models that are no longer considered the most modern on the market are used. The estimated value of the individual components is estimated at $ 28,1 million.
The special ad on eBay
Although the asking price is astronomical, the seller is offering free shipping for the entire facility. In fact, the listing includes expedited shipping options for an additional $25 or $50, which seems odd for shipping 300 racks of equipment. So far, 11 users are watching the listing, and one interested person has added it to their shopping cart.
