Without actually ripping chips off boards, you would be stuck with a pizza oven sized computer that sounds like a jet engine, uses more electricity than that pizza oven would, and doesn’t have a video-out port on the GPU. They really are tailored to a particular kind of use case and unless you are running your own ai models or /maybe/ something like crypto mining, its going to be pretty useless.
Even if they were made to work, they may still be bad in price / perf and not worth using simply due to being manufactured for a completely different purpose.
when the bubble pops there will be loads of these (assuming they haven’t all been cocktailed).
prob buy em for pennies on the dollar.
bet in 10 yrs time someone could figure out how to run them on a quarter the energy usage.
one can hope, to up cycle this fucking stain on humanity
but surely there are ppl out there smart enough to make it work somehow?
after all we can play Doom on just about any device

I’m sure they could be made to work. But why would they when they’ve got the likes of Nvidia producing all the chips they could ever want.
