Power constraints and legacy infrastructure costs make older GPUs economically viable even as newer chips arrive.

This affects cost planning for anyone renting cloud GPU capacity or deciding whether to wait for next-gen capacity versus contracting now. gpu-compute cloud-infrastructure ai-hardware cost-planning
