简化版--gpu 只能用俩三年而不是各大hyperscaler公司宣称的5 到6年，两年后可以放图片

I should also add that the 5-6 year life is probably fine for basic servers which are storing your iCloud photographs and similar, but the life of an AI server is likely much shorter – particularly one used for training, but probably also for inference.

 

The best way to illustrate this is a simple analogy. Think of a car – I live in central London and cannot cope with the 20mph speed limit, so I rarely drive. My cars have not done over 3,000 miles in a year for several years. Think of a sales rep’s car, which is doing 35-40,000 miles a year.

 

The AI servers are like the sales rep’s car, working flat out 24 hours per day, getting very hot. They will be worn out in 2-3 years. They will still be useful then for storing photographs or data but they will not be capable of the training tasks and will need to be replaced.
