> Apparently, Ascend-950PR is selling for 1/4 the px of H20, which would put 950PR @ 2.5-3K. If 950DT sells for $4k, then a 1024-card SuperNode might only sell for $5-6 million… Bruh. No, impossible Anything below $8K for 950DT is either desperation or "Chyna won history"
As HW seeks to expand Ascend/CANN globally, it's partnering up w/ SK Shieldus & Hanson PNS to enter Korean mkt.

Given Nvidia's CUDA moat, HW's appeal outside China would have to come from improved s/w & kernel support as well as lower px.
Since it controls large portion of Atlas SuperNode/cluster supply chain, it can probably control cost better than Nvidia & others.
