I try not to call them GPUs, though it's hard to avoid.
But I didn't know they're not even capable of rendering graphics at a deeper level than just not having a video output.
It sounds like you definitely know some stuff I don't, but wouldn't it be smart for these companies to bid a bit more if they could, to make these builds with more resellable parts instead of using these crazy server rack combo platters?
I still think it's an economy controlled top down by the authorities that makes this "profitable," and when you boil it down it's just a fancy mathy story to distract from them making special stuff for themselves they don't want to share with us
Their customers don't care about if they are resellable. They just want GPUs.
We aren't their customers, and I mean this in the most literal sense possible. You can't buy these. They only sell them to big companies.
Yes, it's shit.
