The problem is that they're producing data center products, which are completely unusable to normal people. The crash won't put products you can use on the market, companies are making GPU's that can't output videos, computers that need to integrate with building cooling, and chips that are completely unified (so you can't pull out the memory to use even if you wanted to).
Prices will stay high.
Once the demand for those gpus fall of a cliff they’re still going to have that memory produce and need to put it somewhere. There won’t be “gaming on a used cheap datacenter” GPU, but there will be memory that needs to be put into something.
Yeah it’s purpose built to suck ass. It’s like the old “car idling to solve sudokus” meme but in this case the car can’t be used as a car, it can only be used to idle, regardless of whether sudokus exist to be solved.
