I would in such a scenario expect the GPUs to be dumped to industrial breakers who would send them to China for refurbishment and repackaging before being sold again on Amazon, AliExpress, and Taobao as last gen gaming cards from weird brands and specs.

replyYeah, I ment it as a joke - I agree with you. Watched the Gamers Nexus GPU investigation recently, where they were shown how a chinese soldering shop can transplant GPU chips to a new board, including memory chip reuse.
replyHopefully we can look forward to all that useless datacenter AI crap gets repurposed in a similar manner into something actually useful for users.
I wouldnt be so hopeful because they dont use commodity hardware afaik
How are you going to use a h100 at home?

replyExactly + you can harvest the HBM memory on chip level & resolder on custom boards usable in PCs as VRAM (with scavenged GPU) or as normal RAM sticks.
replyI would happily buy up a load of datacenter GPU's at deep discount
replyWon't have to wait very long... as they are eating their own already.

Mountains of GPUs next to the ET games in the landfill.
replyWell one person can use at most one bicycle at a time.
replyOne person can use as many GPUs as they want.
