If you are talking about GPUs being only a small share

My friend. I asked for a number.

You dodged and wrote a bunch of opinion.

No facts, no actual evidence presented. What good is this in convincing anyone of anything other than you're too deep in an emotional argument to ever see daylight again?

Shit, even someone else managed to copy and paste links to Boomer-targeted panic-y "news" articles. It's at least a tiny bit of effort to support their own opinions.

Hey, you want to see some real evidence that your concern is both overblown and potentially not even a thing at all? A pretty decent discussion on Hacker News about Dark GPUs, the term you should have been using, has plenty of industry-specific thoughts on the matter. The short version is that if Dark GPUs exist, it's Nvidia hoarding them, not companies waiting to use what they've bought. So even of the discussion about Dark GPUs, the custom aspect you're so fixated on doesn't seem to be real, either.

Not to mention your naive take that you think this is all actually about some very honest and straightforward hustle to stick GPUs in buildings.

Cute, but hey, let's get crazy, here.

Other factors to consider: This is a real estate investment scam to the core (see the article in the HN link). GPUs might hit EOL, but if used at a lower voltage, might be perfect for enterprise and free tier usage because those models are dogshit anyway. As access to compute returns to normal levels for Tier 1 users, if Dark GPUs don't end up used, they're a tax write-off; a massive, enormous, tax write-off for a company that's growing at stupid rates.

Hell, have you even considered that they don't even exist in the first place, and are one more slight of hand intended to push up GPU "scarcity" and inflate manufacturing and investment numbers? Nvidia's selling GPUs for 10 times above manufacturing costs. Sometimes 20x. Data center revenue is up 176% so far in 2026 because Nvidia is nearly a monopoly. And this administration won't touch them.

And now, to answer my own question, because you seem unable or unwilling: Most likely, zero percent. None, because Dark GPUs aren't even proven to exist. Let alone hyper-specific ones that you seem to have invented. Because demand for compute is so high that GPUs getting burned out with nothing to replace them is an actual problem constraining compute right now.

So until you have real evidence to back up your claims, I suggest you re-evaluate what you keep spouting off to people about, because it's not real. It's a hallucination, just like an AI would do.
