LQ50 24GB board appears near $1,200, with speed concerns
The LQ50/LQ50-24GB small AI board appears on Taobao at about $1,200. The main issue is not only the price, but whether it can run well in practice.
A listed of 153.6GB/s is viewed as slow for fast model output. The board may claim 100 TOPS, bf16 support, and 15W power use, which sound strong on paper, but low can still make slow.
There are also concerns that western driver and software support may be weak. A card was mentioned as a possible better option at a similar price.
