The retirement trend of AI servers is approaching, and the ITAD industry is competing for the billion dollar GPU dismantling market
IDC predicts that by 2027, 500000 AI servers worldwide will retire, including over 5 million A100/H100 graphics cards. Google collaborates with ITAD service provider Iron Mountain to develop an automated disassembly line that can separate liquid cooled pipelines and extract GPU modules within one hour. Nvidia requires partners to use customized tools to destroy retired chips to prevent military grade computing power leakage.
