Sam Altman 认为在 DRAM 供应紧张的背景下,让个人电脑占用稀缺内存且利用率仅约 5% 并不合理,云数据中心的利用率更高。
但从全球资源配置的角度看,让每个人的电脑里都装着世界上有限的 DRAM,而且只有百分之五的时间在使用,实际上非常糟糕。如果要应对这种供应极度紧张的环境,就应该在云端实现最大化利用率。原文 (en)
But from a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time. You want maximum utilization in the cloud if you’re trying to deal with this very supply constrained environment.
