At $2 per hour, factoring in the overall hardware cost, labor, electricity, and other sunk costs like floor space and bandwidth, how many total hours does it take to break even?
What is the expected hardware operation lifespan in hours of this system?
How much would the hardware cost have to drop for the economic of $2/hour to work?

- hislaziness 2y agoThe details are in the article. They have done the math.
- bugbuddy 2y agoThere was no answer to my last question which I think is the most important thing when considering if we are going to have another GFC this year or next year.
- rsynnott 2y agoDoes "GFC" stand for "global financial crisis" here? It seems implausible that the collapse of the LLM bubble will cause one; it might have a pretty dramatic impact on the markets, but it's unclear how it would cause the sort of systemic failure that we saw in the noughties.
- pico_creator 2y agoYou could technically break even at $2, assuming 100% allocation, and cheap electricity. But reality is not 100%, so I would argue at-least 25% or even 50% drop in the H100 price (approx 50k each, after factoring other overheads)
