I don’t think most companies will find much value in that though. I know that none of the infrastructure I work with uses heavy calculations, and if we tried to jam it in, we’d be making solutions looking for problems.

An email server doesn’t need a GPU, neither does a file server, or a website, or an e-commerce platform.

Suppose they could rent it out as supercomputers but I don’t think the return on cost is going to be that good.
