it'll be a rack based GPU without video ports. The only thing getting sick GPU's will be landfill when they all burn out and the data center rationalization happens.
More like rack-sized GPU that takes in half-megawatt of power as 800 volts DC, and requires 10 gallons per second of liquid cooling or it'll catch fire.
Nope. The scientific community is eagerly waiting for prices to drop.
Single 5090, single H100, a few 4090s, a few Blackwell PRO 6000... that's all there often is as dedicated devices for a faculty (apart from the oversubscribed bigger clusters with big stuff).
Apart from the chairs doing vision, most of them use them headless.
So, landfill will be highly unlikely, if things get sold fast enough.
Totally agree these won’t go to consumers but even after a crash I’d home they are able to be sold for parts and not just to landfills. If this all goes into the trash that would be even more tragic than it already is.

So I kinda wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of these GPUs go in the dump, given that it sounds like they'd be extremely power-hungry and difficult to use outside a hyperscale data center setting.
The proper server AI chips come on a board that isn't compatible with consumer pcie lanes and have no built-in fans. Completely different ball game in the ultra dense server world.
