According to @StockMarketNerd on X on Nov 20, 2025, Nvidia’s (NVDA) Ampere data center GPUs launched in May 2020 and, 5.5 years later, the installed base remains fully utilized, which the author says supports that GPU depreciation schedules are fair and that these assets remain useful (source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Nov 20, 2025). Trading takeaway: the author’s observation implies lower near-term obsolescence risk for NVDA’s older-generation data center fleet and a supportive backdrop for asset values and capex planning (source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Nov 20, 2025). No direct cryptocurrency impact was cited in the source (source: @StockMarketNerd on X, Nov 20, 2025).
