Core 4 Solutions lists 300-rack A100 AI supercomputer on eBay for $59.7 million
IT vendor Core 4 Solutions has put a 300-rack AI compute cluster up for sale on eBay for $59.7 million. The system includes 9,600 Nvidia A100 40GB accelerators and 4,200 AMD EPYC Rome 64-core processors, totaling 268,800 CPU cores and roughly 1.4 petabytes of memory, with shipping options including free FedEx Ground delivery.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The listing highlights how older Ampere-generation A100 hardware is finding a secondary market as newer Blackwell and Vera Rubin racks from Nvidia can cost $6.5-7.8 million per unit and face long waitlists. This suggests buyers priced out of or delayed on cutting-edge AI hardware may increasingly turn to decommissioned clusters as a budget alternative for AI, machine learning, and research workloads.
- A 300-rack cluster with 9,600 Nvidia A100 GPUs and 4,200 AMD EPYC Rome CPUs is listed on eBay for $59.7 million.
- The cluster offers 268,800 CPU cores and about 1.4 petabytes of memory across its racks.
- Older A100-based systems are emerging as cost-effective alternatives amid high prices and supply constraints for newer Nvidia architectures.
