I got the same lead time in EU. Can you recommend any rack server for these? I guess they won't fit in normal 2U servers like HPE Proliant as most spec only one full width full height card as the board is double height if I understand it correctly.
I'm using the 3u8g-c612. It's about $3K.
If i were to buy just one of theese cards, could i not just put it in my computer then as it fits in the PCI slot? But communicates through usb and only use PCI for power was that it?
It requires the PCI-E power, a full 75W. But you can provide that through a powered riser. I would expect him to implement a PCI-E interface at some point though.
VCU1525 card is the Development Kit! This is not mass produced. And it can not ramp up production.
I had a conference call with Xilinx before announcing this project and they agreed to transition the VCU1525 into a production product for a slightly higher price; the production version will be released in June/July, in much higher quantities.
Interesting but i dont see the logic here Xillinx is selling the chip used in these cards on its own for utterly ridiculous price, now they will provide much cheaper source of this chip, if your not interested in crypto mining but you have a product to sell using this chip, buy this card desolder the chip reball it and use it in your own product. I dont see this happening in the long run. Its a great marketing strategy but wont bring big revenue for Xillinx in a long run.
Some (Most) of your assumptions here are false. Can't really say more as it's all covered under NDA. You're also looking at a 50% +/- recovery rate removing and reballing a FPGA.
