Also, processors turn electricity into heat - if you can find a useful way of harnessing that heat, the computation is practically free. Deep learning is fairly latency-insensitive and is almost never mission-critical, so it's not inconceivable to imagine that the boiler rooms of apartment buildings and office blocks could become mini-DCs.
