    I edited with a bit more context. They are mostly just product identifiers.

    Unobtainium just nerd speak for “things that are nominally available but impossible to actually get your hands on”. It’s rooted in sci fi tropes that are in themselves very interesting but besides the point right now.

      Let me rephrase my question: Please fall over yourself to explain to me why these devices are no match for Nvidia’s top cards like the H100/B100. I wish to understand.

      Cheers

        He’s arguing that comparing raw performance is moot in his comment, since having affordable/available supply that can undercut NVIDIA in the same role would be quite a blow to their market dominance (especially outside the US).
