The cheapest Volta GPUs I have seen so far cost over 2K for 12GB. Can the GPU provided in this kit be used for training?

Yes, if your model is small enough or, if you are fine-tuning small number of layers. TendorFlow 1.15 and 2.0 are available on Xavier. I understand that PyTorch could be built as well.

Nite that the number of CUDA kernels and amount of memory available is smaller, if compared to descrete Volta GPUs.

You say it can do training for small models because of the presence of the small (512-core) GPU? (plus maybe some left-over, control calculations by the CPU)

Nope, the use of the words 'edge' and 'inference' in the tag-line pretty much mean there is no learning, no training.

Does it have "fake" tensor cores? Aren't those for training?
