Good. That asshole doesn't deserve any. Those should be used for PC gaming. Not creating the torment nexus.
You wouldn't be using these for gaming (well, not of the 3D graphics sort).
They run in the tens of thousands of dollars each, as I recall.
Probably more correct to call them "parallel compute accelerator" cards than "GPUs". I don't think that they have a video out, even.
What they do have is a shit-ton of on-board RAM.
EDIT: Oh, apparently those are whole servers containing multiple GPUs.

For comparison, the most powerful electric space heater I have draws about a tenth that.
While the GPU's created aren't used for gaming, the wafers that the dies are made with could've been allocated to produce the dies for consumer level graphics cards right?
Absolutely.
