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

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.

At that point I’m willing to raid a data center

Why the fuck would anyone buy this. Come on.

Because they will have no other option once their existing system dies.
And honestly, VDI is great from a general user standpoint. It’s the companies who run it that make it a bad option.

Well, they’re also a bad option when the data centers hosting them get bombed

I’m far from an expert on these things, but I have a tough time believing that latency won’t be a critical issue for many consumer applications.

Because people are fucking idiots.

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

I’m more concerned with jobs in the best future, tbh

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

You can rent consumer grade GPUs on cloud servers for your AI computing, so yes
