Could someone please get confirmation as to if defective GPUs are being re-purposed into a mining-only scenario? Earlier reports made this claim.

Not just the one use case - these could also work very nicely as desktop accelerators for a VDI server setup - those don't need to have local display outputs.

I also like the jab at companies building products for the customers who will pay the most for them - that's their job. Where do you think they get the billions of capital? It comes from investors, and they expect a return on their money. Companies that intentionally make income-decreasing business decisions generally do not last long.
