That's a number within an order of magnitude, and you're presumably not the largest provider.
> No two providers has the same customers, meaning the workloads vary quite a lot, and a lot of the "professional" developers you're talking about all have jobs that rent this compute.
If you own something and you've having problems with it, you're more inclined to try to solve them. If you're renting something and you have problems with it, you're more inclined to rent something else instead.
> These GPUs are enterprise, they only come in one form factor. It is a 350lbs box that takes 10kW of power and some pretty serious cooling. It costs as much as an expensive Ferrari.
Making only 4-socket systems was a choice.
You're also acting like multiple SKUs are something weird. Start offering Ryzen APUs with some on-package GDDR or HBM. Make something that fits in the Threadripper socket and uses PCIe power connectors for extra power. People would buy these things.
The point is to create lots of systems in the hands of lots of people that use the same general hardware architecture so that you're improving its software support.
