I wish, but even if they sell everything, none of the parts of usable for most gamers or people. Most of the Nvidia stuff being pushed into data centres are rack scale devices. Furthermore the GPUs that are in AI racks are super application specific and don’t have the proper frame buffers you’d need to play video games, nor actual video outputs.
As for the platform itself,
The RAM is almost all RDIMM ECC, on proprietary motherboard form factors, with vendor locked CPUs.
Even worse, they all know this is a bubble and are putting the lowest effort into the data centers. This machines are being built with very loose tolerances and short useful lifespans. Most of it will malfunction in less than five years. It’s such a massive waste of resources.
Damn, it doesn’t surprise me but internally I’m hoping that is limited to the AI specific hardware (the GPUs or network PCI backplanes). I actually run some enterprise stuff at home and I could make use of the RDIMMs lol.
Or the AI bubble pops and we get a LOT of very cheap, very good hardware. It’s actually a very good reason to make pop happen.

Except this POP! will destroy the economy. So you still won’t be able to afford anything…
Nah. The part of the economy that doesn’t use AI will take a hit, but will be mostly fine.
