    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Nvidia’s long-teased GH200 CPU-GPU Superchips are finally going on sale, and the 1,000-Watt chip – built to run in servers and handle hefty AI training and inference tasks – is even available in a workstation from German startup gptshop.ai.

    Bernhard Guentner, the brains behind the upstart, built the GH200 into a workstation after becoming unsatisfied with the performance of Nvidia’s consumer grade RTX 4090s for running large models and due to his preference for keeping work out of the cloud.

    “I asked them if you can buy the super chip and everything separately, but they say not even that is possible,” he said of OEM systems – adding that in the longer term he hopes to transition to more traditional ATX-style components where possible.

    But with enough Noctua fans lining the walls of the case, and even one blowing directly down onto the motherboard, Guentner was able to bring temps down to acceptable levels without the risk of hearing loss.

    But Guentner figures there’s probably a market for high-performance workstations powered by Nvidia’s Superchips, and plans to build and sell systems based on the design.

    The systems start at €47,500 and can be configured with a variety of add-on cards and storage – including Nvidia’s BlueField 3 data processing units and RTX 4060 for video output.
