None of the chips built for datacentres are useful for gaming. None of the RAM in these chips is useful for normal computing - even servers - much less home gaming.

AI compute believes it’s still in a “race” so they won’t want to be using previous gen chips unless forced to in some way.

This isn’t the “dark fibre” of the AI bubble. It’s just a future pile of trash.

To build chips that are used as collateral for datacentres that have yet to be built, so the chips can’t be used, and they’ll just age out of usefulness.

pay for all the required transmission infrastructure that the project will use exclusively.

Emphasis mine. If the AI buildout can claim that the line will serve as a secondary entry point for a neighbourhood they’re not going to pay.

I skipped the 17 which was supposed to be my partner’s upgrade. I am anticipating regretting that decision.

It’s crazy and the chips that are ostensibly taking up all the dram are sitting on shelves waiting for data centres to be built so that they can be racked.

We need a mole in that organisation feeding government entities the ideas that are discarded for cost.

A division of the marketing division no doubt. Like the environmental department at most companies.
