Renting one probably makes more sense for an ordinary programmer. If the chip is $5000, that's a lot of workload on a cloud server.

Hopefully we will see this on a public cloud somewhere. I think there is a great business opportunity for someone to start a commercial hardware lab for developers which gives remote access to new / upcoming hardware. Would gladly pay 50-100 (possibly more depending on whats offered) bucks a month if I could get access to new GPUs / CPUs / networking gear / FPGAS etc. Would allow me to significantly downsize my homelab.
