Tiny Corp’s AI workstation drops Nvidia options as AMD builds get pricier

Tiny Corp’s Tinybox configurator now offers AMD graphics cards only, while its six-GPU Radeon AI Pro build has risen by $3,000 to $22,000. For people weighing an AI workstation, the practical trade-off is sharper: more AMD GPU memory in the configurable builds, but no Nvidia options in the configurator and a higher bill.

What happened

TechRadar reports that Tiny Corp removed the remaining Nvidia options from its online configurator, including the Tinybox Pro, after earlier Nvidia configurations disappeared or went out of stock. The configurator now offers a six-card Radeon AI Pro R9700 build with 192GB of GPU memory for $22,000, up from $19,000. A four-card, 128GB version starts at $17,000. The TechRadar report says Tiny Corp raised the listed price per R9700 from $2,000 to $2,500.

Nvidia has not vanished from every corner of the shop: a separate Shopify listing still shows a four-card Nvidia system at $91,000. TechRadar says it is unclear whether orders for that listing would be honoured.

Why it matters

This is a concrete shift in the options on offer for people buying a multi-GPU AI workstation. The six-card AMD build provides 192GB of GPU memory, but the reported price rise makes that capacity substantially more expensive. Buyers looking for Nvidia GPUs cannot currently select them through the configurator, and the surviving storefront listing is an uncertain alternative.

Our read

The useful question is not which logo wins the configurator. It is whether the available hardware, software support and total price make a particular system workable for the models and workloads a buyer actually has. A striking memory figure is handy, but it is not a bargain by itself. Check the live configuration and order terms before making plans around a listed system.

What to watch

Whether Tiny Corp adds Nvidia options back to the configurator or confirms the separate Nvidia system is orderable.
Whether the R9700 prices or build configurations change again.
How Tiny Corp’s AMD software support compares with the needs of buyers considering these systems.

Discussion spark: For a local AI workstation, would you choose the AMD build for its listed GPU memory, or pay more or wait for an Nvidia option if that better suits your software?

Update

What changed

TechRadar reports that Tiny Corp’s six-card Radeon AI Pro R9700 build limits each card to 225W, keeping their combined draw at 1,350W within the system’s 1,700W power supply. The four-card version has no such cap; four cards at their full 300W rating would draw 1,200W.

The six R9700 cards provide 192GB of GPU memory in total, with 640GB/s of bandwidth per card according to AMD. Tiny Corp lists each card at $2,500. AMD’s stated retail price is $1,299, while the report says partner cards began selling for roughly $1,244 to $1,277.

There is a hardware-generation wrinkle too: the system uses PCIe 4.0, DDR4 memory and a 32-core EPYC processor. The reported figures help put the workstation’s capacity and price in context, but they do not establish how it performs on particular models or workloads.
