Almost nothing about a generation change is the GPU. The facility usually cannot take the new part in the old positions, the fabric generation may not match, and the two fleets have to coexist for months. The sequencing that avoids a capacity trough, and the decision people get wrong.

The weights are portable and almost nothing else is. Four layers have to exist before the model runs at all, the quantization format is the one most likely to be missing, and the honest plan states what will not work in the first quarter rather than promising parity.
