Evidence

The additional BOM cost for NVL576 is astronomical at over $5.6 million dollars (9.7k per GPU) that Nvidia would need to pay to their suppliers.

Context After

Applying a blanket 75% gross margin means customers would need to pay an additional 38.8k per GPU for NVL576 copper + optical connections. While Nvidia can cut back on margins, even at 0% for the scale out NVLink solution, it’s basically untenable. This is the exact same reason to why DGX H100 NVL256 never shipped due to the massive cost of transceivers . Optics is far too expensive for the accelerator interconnect as the accelerator interconnect needs to be extremely high bandwidth.
