That's just the power. If one expects a H100 to run for three years at full load, 24 x 365 x 3 = 26280. Assuming a price of $25K per H100, that means about $1/h to amortize costs. Hence the unless they stole them , I guess. Facto

I don't think I fully understand your question. If, with turnkey operation you mean virtualization, enterprise GPUs already officially support it now, and it already works with consumer GPUs, at least the discrete ones.

Fair point. I wonder whether there are any "outs". DE and PL subsidized because they want fabs ASAP; if Intel can't hold up their end, why not cancel the deal and go with TSMC or Samsung instead.

Yeah, this is one of the more common failure modes. One meeting wasted, and possibly lots of time lost when the next meeting can only be scheduled much later. All easily preventable if the person organizing the meeting prepares for it, and
