    You won’t get the GPUs. Most of the AI hardware is not usable to you. They didn’t just sell all the desktop RAM and GPUs to AI companies, they dedicated most of the production to data center hardware that you can’t use. Relief isn’t coming, what you need doesn’t exist.

      There could be something like the bc250 coming out of this.

      I’m sure with all these AI startups there’s plenty that used consumer grade stuff because that’s what they could get

      Either way though, I run enterprise servers in my homelab so I stand to benefit even if mostly enterprise server RAM and data center class GPUs hit the market

      And they’re not going to switch production back to consumer hardware either. Those data centers will be used to sell virtual desktop subscriptions.

          Because they will have no other option once their existing system dies. In this scenario actual PCs will be something only the wealthy can afford. Everyone else gets dumb terminals.

          And honestly, VDI is great from a general user standpoint. It’s the companies who run it that make it a bad option.
