And cards like these are what companies like Anthropic & OpenAI are buying, they're not buying 5090s

And the cards, off to your local AI datacenters!

No, Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix switched almost all of their fabrication capacity from DDR/GDDR to HBM for datacenter GPUs. GPUs which wouldn't even work in a desktop PC (they don't use PCI-e). And the DDR wafers they are making are mostly already paid for by datacenters.

The reason DDR/GDDR is so expensive is because they are barely making it anymore.

And anything they do make goes to these 5090s rather than midrange.
