Can we all buy cheap hardware when the bubble bursts and the billionaires decide not to pay the electricity bills for these ridiculous datacentres?

the AI chips are usable for regular consumers like you or me.

Unlike with the GPU shortage, where the cryptomining gpus could be used by regular consumers, the datacenter ram and so on is not usable on personal computers. It is all going to be e-waste, and we will still have a shortage after the bubble burst.

While it won’t be usable by consumers, lots of businesses will happily scoop up the pieces for their own servers. Not only will a ton of demand vanish, but a ton of supply will appear at the same time.

It’s possible someone would make it usable. A long time ago, I bought a laptop CPU that was soldered onto a board so it would go into a normal desktop socket. Guessing there was a glut of laptop CPUs at the time.

is datacenter ram really not usable on personal PC’s? I figured it was the same as consumer ram but with ECC features.

They’re using the new SOCAMM standard, which current consumer hardware can’t use.
It’s a different physical interface.
Whether it will end up coming to consumer grade motherboards… 🤷♂️

man that sucks.

Yeah and the e-waste centers will clean up the hardware and resell it.
It’ll be a flood into the market. Supply and demand and all that.

Well that sucks. I assumed the ram, ssds, hdds could be recycled into useful forms.
