    But transistors break after what? 100’000 cycles? GPUs can get “used up”. And if your computing center has twice as much running costs due to old, less efficient hardware, it isn’t competitive.

    Edit: looks like transistors can partially recover with sleep cycles.

      I doubt the transistor on a GPU wafer break after 100k cycles, as they run at gigahertz frequencies, some cycle billions of times a second.
