"Intel did not state what the requirements were to get access to Xe-HP in the cloud. I suspect that if you have to ask, then you probably don’t qualify. "
Not that, that assumption stopped you from asking I'm sure.
Most likely Wall Street corporations since these Xe GPUs are Xeon class processors on Hyper Steroids. I'd bet they start at like $2,599 or something being brand new technology by Intel standards.
They're massively parallel special-purpose processors, not general purpose processors like Xeons. This makes them amazing for certain purposes and useless for others.
Honestly I'd estimate they cost at least $10,000. These things cost a lot to develop and yields are likely terrible. If they're not saying the cost, it's because they're so expensive that they're only selling them to people building supercomputers.

I asked. They said 'preapproved customers only'. That's as far as they would budge.yeeeeman - Wednesday, November 11, 2020 - link
