ChatGPT is taking the internet by storm. The artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI is currently the most advanced chatbot in the world. While many people are enjoying this marvel of technology for free, its unexpected side effects are already starting to appear. According to the latest reports, ChatGPT might bring about another GPU shortage. Here are the details…

ChatGPT might bring about another GPU shortage – sooner than you might expect

OpenA reportedly uses 10,000 Nvidia GPUs to train the ChatGPT to produce interesting and quirky responses. With tech giants like Microsoft and Google eager to integrate AI into their own services, it is estimated that Google alone would need 4,102,568 Nvidia A100 GPUs, which could cost the company a whopping $100 billion.

This high demand for GPUs to train AI models could lead to a shortage of graphics cards. Th last one caused by high demand from crypto-mining. The GPU shortage will probably only affect Nvidia card sales since they have the most advanced AI cores on the market. However, other companies like AMD and Intel see the high demand and potential profit. They may push harder to match Nvidia in the AI arena.

If Nvidia shifts more attention toward the AI, it could leave an opening for AMD to fill up the gaming market. A shortage of Nvidia GPUs could push gamers towards AMD. Still, if Nvidia does commit to producing more GPUs for AI training purposes, expect graphics card prices to rise again.

This could lead to frustration for gamers, and could also impact other industries that rely on GPUs, such as research and development, animation, and video editing. Therefore, if you have a graphics card that you are considering buying, if you expect the prices to drop even more, you may want to hurry up.
