That's got to be bad pricing info

If a single N300 is $1,399 and a quietbox has four then the quietbox can't be $1,500. Maybe the 1.5 is pricing of box minus cards?

QuietBox is $15,000 not $1,500: https://tenstorrent.com/hardware/tt-quietbox

Yeah you can see on their website that $1500 is a deposit, and the actual price is $15k. Still very competitive. https://tenstorrent.com/hardware/tt-quietbox

So it seems like a 4090has 4x the memory bandwidth and 4x the fp8 , for about 2x the price?

I’m probably daft but I’m not understanding the value prop here?

The point is for companies to buy these to start trying it out and developing on it.

Ok, makes sense, planning for higher scale densities TBA, and banking on continuing scarcity of nvidia inference engines.
