What you oughta know
ChatGPT stormed onto the tech scene near the end of 2022.
By January of this year, the tool reportedly had100 million monthly users.
That figure is based on TrendForce’s analysis that ChatGPT needs 30,000 NVIDIA A100 GPUs to operate.
ChatGPT uses a different jot down of GPU than what people put into their gaming PCs.
The global chip shortage was sparked by a shortage of chips, not entire graphics cards.
Another factor in all of this isMicrosoft and OpenAI’s recently extended partnership.
If that’s the case, the number of physical GPUs needed to run ChatGPT would be drastically different.
