Maybe somebody can help me and explain to me why does it cost 129$k

Is it just the development? Price of comments ? price to manufactures? .

The DGX-1 super computer with 8 Tesla P100's costs $129,000. A single Tesla P100 is a lot cheaper.

Nvidia released their Digits Devbox last year for $15000. That was also a deep learning machine that ran Ubuntu and contains 4 Titan X's. Suddenly that seems a lot more reasonable now.

The $129k is for the deep-learning computer with 8 of the P100's in it - the unit price for the P100 isn't in the article.

The DGX-1 features eight Tesla GP100 GPU cards providing 170 teraflops of half-precision performance from its 28,672 CUDA cores. The DGX-1 also features two 16-core Intel Xeon E5-2698 v3 2.3GHz CPUs, 512GB of DDR4 RAM, 4x 1.92TB SSD RAID, dual 10GbE, 4x InfiniBand EDR network ports, and requires a maximum of 3200W of power.
