GPU Depreciation Paradox: Token Revenue vs. Resale Value
AccBalanced · x · 2026-09-01
AccBalanced highlights the critical divergence between book value and market value in GPU depreciation. The argument is that while token revenue (generated via compute) may exceed the bulk resale value of the hardware, the two cannot be equated. This suggests that evaluating GPU ROI requires looking at cash flow from compute services, not just hardware residual value.
