Hourly Rate of Max GPU Instances

[Viet-Duc]

Hello, 

I could not find any published information on the hourly rate for Max GPUs instance. 

Per standard plan, the hourly rate for Max CPU instances are as follow, after signing up. 

- Xeon Gen 4: 3.62 $/hour 

- Xeon Gen 5: 4.39 $/hour 

As I understand, to see the rate for Max GPU instances, one must upgrade to Premium tier with a 500$ withholding.  Even if it is to be refunded, I prefer the rate to be published up front. 

If the hour rate is reasonable wrt to AWS, I am willing to make such deposit, but not before. 

Regards.

Hi Viet-Duc,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

For your information, the Intel® Max Series GPU instances can be found in the Preview Catalog and are not charged by hour. If you need access to the instances, you may fill out the required information and submit the request form from the Preview Catalog. If there is availability, someone will be in touch with you as soon as possible regarding the price and further information about the instances.

 

Regards,

Luwe

Hi Luwe, 

Thanks for clarification. 

I am aware that GPU access scheduling is already available in standard tier. 

My confusion comes from the Intel product brief for Tiber developer cloud: 

(Here, the column corresponds to standard, premium, and enterprise, respectively) 

So to reiterate: 

- All tiers requires a manual review from Intel staff before granting GPU access 

- For premium & enterprise, access to cloud console will be hourly rated. 

- Premium & enterprise only offers exclusive bare metal access to  GPU single node or clusters

- From the lack of availability of Max GPUs outside Aurora supercomputer, the main point of premium is official tech support 

Is my understanding correct ? 

Is the price of a Max CPU instance different between Standard and Premium, since the latter can perform training and inference ?
