Google Cloud has made Nvidia T4 GPUs generally available, making it the first platform to offer them globally as cloud instances.

Nvidia's T4 GPUs, unveiled earlier this year, are aimed at machine learning training and inference, data analytics and graphics workloads. Google first made them available in Brazil, India, Tokyo and Singapore in January; AWS followed up with limited G4 cloud instances in March.

[...] Google already offers the pricey Nvidia V100 GPUs on its platform. In a blog post, Google said the T4 instances offered more affordable machine learning training compared to the V100s.

The instances are now available in three US and Asia regions, one Europe and one South America region, and are all interconnected by a high-speed network.

Price wise, they come in as low as $0.29 (£0.22) per hour per GPU, with "on-demand" instances coming in at $0.95 (£0.72) per hour. Google added that users will be offered discounts for "sustained use."

    I'll wait for the next gen of AMD gpus, nvidia plays too many games with telemetry and hobbling.

    For all those $2,500 machine learning cards you're buying eh?

      I've been thinking about a Radeon VII due to 16 gb ram, but decided to wait to see whats in the pipeline. It isn't even clear to me whether it will work for sure with my workflow (eg, tensorflow). I didn't see any place to try it out "in the cloud" either. But I really don't want to use Nvidia any more. Just moved from Windows -> Linux, Intel -> AMD, and Nvidia -> AMD for my display gpu. I still need Nvidia for ML tasks though.

      And I realize AMD will probably get just as evil as Intel/Nvidia when they are no longer the underdog, but for now...
