Isn't this just a PCIE splitter?  Like, this is REAL.  You can use boards to split up a PCIE slot to host multiple cards in that slot.  Obviously you can only split up by the number of lanes though, so you can only put say 16 cards on a 16x slot.  However each card will only get a 1x lane.  It's also key to remember that while he's calling this a 'cluster' the GPUs themselves are not actually linked together and are operating as discrete devices.  This is really only useful for compute tasks.

keep in mind, some boards do not like playing host to more than 6 or 8 GPUs at a time. This is the reason the Biostar TB250 BTC Pro (and it's facsimiles) exists.
