The NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU was last year's hot item for HPC and AI industry segments—the largest purchasers were reported to have acquired up to 150,000 units each. Demand grew so much that lead times of 36 to 52 weeks became the norm for H100-based server equipment. The latest rumblings indicate that things have stabilized—so much so that some organizations are "offloading chips" as the supply crunch cools off. Apparently it is more cost-effective to rent AI processing sessions through cloud service providers (CSPs)—the big three being Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
