That’s kind of abstract. Like, nobody pays purely for hardware. They pay for the ability to run software.
The real question is, would you pay $N to run software package X?
Like, go back to 2000. If I say “would you pay $N for a parallel matrix math processing card”, most people are going to say “no”. If I say “would you pay $N to play Quake 2 at resolution X and fps Y and with nice smooth textures,” then it’s another story.
I paid $1k for a fast GPU so that I could run Stable Diffusion quickly. If you asked me “would you pay $1k for an AI-processing card” and I had no idea what software would use it, I’d probably say “no” too.
