If it's 100% CUDA compatible, then this is absolutely amazing. These guys may cut a pretty huge piece of pie from NVIDIA's market. It is a little cryptic though (at least for me), what does the passive model mean? Does it mean they have passive cooling on these models? Or do they want to sell it strip-naked for air/water-cooling to be used from within a server? It would be really nice to see the prices falling due to competition.
If it's anything like other Moore Threads products, this is an Imagination Technology GPU. Similar to Apple's GPUs (They forked 5 years ago).
Hardware is likely fine, but the drivers ... Well... I have no idea who's writing them.
Have any of their prior products ever made it to the US or Europe in volume?
