And a pile of GPUs doesn't really do much good without servers, racks, networking, power, cooling, and a building to house it all in.

And a pile of "servers, racks, networking, power, cooling, and a building to house it all in" doesn't cost 10-20x more than the GPUs.

If that were the case, Cooler Master would be the trillion dollar company, lmao.

If Cooler Master could charge enterprise computing prices for their consumer level gear, they probably would be.
Something like an H100 is definitely a feat of engineering, though.

Nothing prevents Cooler Master from releasing a line of GPUs equally performant and, while at it, even cheaper. But when we measure reality, after the wave function of fentanyl and good intentions collapses ... oh yeah, turns out only nVidia is making those chips, whoops ...
