> will a typical AI company replace the current GPUs?
(Not speaking for everyone of course)
No we keep the current GPUs as well, the one we throw away are several generations old (like K80s), so not very interesting.
For private use, those GPUs are really not worth it. Once their used price reaches an acceptable level, you can be sure that the new general public GPUs will outperform them.
For example a Titan RTX is probably still twice as cheap as V100, while only being ~20% slower.
Edit: Actually a Titan RTX is about the same price as a P100 now, while being much better.
