A critical summary of data centre cooling math. Thermodynamics that can’t be ignored no matter how hard the marketing is done.

@JEmphatically@mstdn.ca There will be noise surrounding different computer processing chips/platforms their efficiency, the amount of computing work done and the heat generated. There is no magic computer processor that can do significant computing work without generating heat that requires resources, water or power to cool. The efficiencies will change the details, but not the reality that cooling data centers takes significant resources. Anyone claiming to have the magic processors that can do the work without generating heat should be questioned very hard.
