The company Titan Computers sells high-end computers. For perhaps the strongest desktop PC in the world, you’ll pay around 123,000 euros. With that money, you could also buy a vacation or a sports car.
The company Titan Computers sells powerful high-end computers in the USA. According to its own website, the company counts numerous universities, NASA, and several US ministries among its customers.
With the A900, there is now an especially powerful PC available, if not the currently fastest PC you can buy. But with that money, you could also buy a nice sports car.
Another PC company did not have quite the same luck and success with its luxury PCs:
In the best configuration, you’ll pay around 123,000 euros
What’s inside the computer? In the basic configuration, you’ll pay “only” 7,975 US dollars for the computer. That is still quite a lot of money, but far from 120,000 euros. Only when you want the full configuration with 4 TB of RAM, the fastest CPU, and fast Nvidia graphics card, will you end up paying around 123,000 euros.
What do you need such a computer for? The company Titan Computers explains that the computer is primarily aimed at technical experts and less at gamers. As examples of applications, the company mentions things like deep learning, data analysis, media/video streaming, cloud gaming, and animation and modeling.
Therefore, the A900 is not necessarily a model that you would put under or on your desk for gaming to play Call of Duty or Baldur’s Gate. Theoretically, that works without any problems, but you won’t be able to fully utilize the AMD server CPU.
| Basic Configuration | Full Configuration | |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 2x AMD EPYC Genoa 9124, 32 Core / 64 Threads | 2x AMD EPYC Genoa 9684X, 192 Cores/ 384 Threads |
| Mainboard | Gigabyte MZ73-LM1 AMD Epic, DP Server-Mainboard | Gigabyte MZ73-LM1 AMD Epic, DP Server-Mainboard |
| RAM | 64 GB | 6144 GB (24x 256 GB) |
| GPU | Nvidia Quadro T400 4 GB GDDR6 | 2x RTX 4090, 24 GB GDDR6X |
| Storage | 1 TB M.2 Nvme + 4 TB HDD | 8 TB (2x 4 TB) + 4 TB HDD |
| 7,975 US dollars (approx. 7,352 euros) | 134,180.50 US dollars (approx. 123,000 euros) |
What else can you get for that much money? For 123,000 euros, you could also buy a sports car. The Porsche Taycan 4S already costs 120,900 euros in the basic configuration. Alternatively, you pay around 100,000 euros for the regular Taycan and can then spend the remaining 20,000 euros on upgrades. Or you can buy a heavy limousine with the BMW i7 for 120,000 euros.
Many gamers are indeed willing to invest a lot of money in their hobby “gaming”. The German company Mifcon has now introduced a gaming PC that costs nearly 30,000 euros. That is not quite as much as the luxury model of the American company, but still a lot of money: German company presents gaming PC with Nvidia’s RTX 4090: It weighs 14 kg and costs as much as a car
