I thought the tactic was having them live in the production facilities.

They will most definitely be cheaper than the 5090 though, and if 640GB/s is good then the AMD card could be interesting as it matches the 32GB. But then it falls down to software support and Nvidia gets a really good lead in usability again.
And Intels card is even further behind:
- Memory 24 GB GDDR6
- Graphics Memory Bandwidth 456 GB/s
Not only are Nvidia’s AI chips faster and more powerful than most other chips out there, Naji said the firm has also “developed the broadest ecosystem” of developers and software.
“And so it's just so much easier to … build an application, build an AI model on top of those chips,” he said.
Where are the other semiconductor companies? The Intels and AMDs of the world, surely they can build an AI chip and software somebody wants?
The article first mentions the reason Intel and AMD has a hard time competing (the development/software for AI are all focused on running on Nvidia and CUDA) and then asks where they are?
The chips are here already... well almost

Followup; Not as cheap but there are M.2 to SATA cards available too, if your mb has no empty PCIe but do have empty M.2 available.
Might also look at larger drives. When I compared 3.5'' drives then the 24TB is cheaper per terabyte than both 16TB and 12TB. The ones I compared are listed below:
Seagate Exos X24 Harddisk ST24000NM002H 24TB 3.5" Serial Attached SCSI 2
Seagate Exos X24 Harddisk ST16000NM001H 16TB 3.5" Serial ATA-600 7200rpm
Seagate IronWolf Harddisk ST12000VN0008 12TB 3.5" SATA-600 7200rpm
That's very true, I'd rather by an ASUS or other known brand N100 MB + an M.2 to SATA splitter too, if the price is equal (or better).
Last time I looked at it I was looking for hw for an opnsense router so I wanted the multiple intel i226 nics that most china-brands add on, so my mind went that way right away.
For the easy way I would just grab a Synology DS224+.
For the DIY something like Jonsbo N2 case + a N100/6xSATA mitx board from china should do the trick. The N100 is great for low power builds.
I wish Unihertz didn't bring so many issues with them, I like their experimental and different phones in theory but from all I've read regarding security updates and other support I stay away.

Yeah, that would've been more on point.
