Enterprise GPU utilization: why 95% of AI infrastructure spend is wasted

Enterprise GPU utilization is reported at only about 5%, meaning most AI infrastructure spend is sitting idle and underused.

The earlier rush to secure GPU capacity during the shortage era left many companies with reserved compute they are now not fully using.

Buyer priorities are shifting from simple GPU access to integration, security, compliance, and total cost of ownership.

As AI moves toward metered inference pricing, inefficient infrastructure setups will become even more expensive for enterprises.
