That matters a lot in a laptop, but not so much in a 1U rack? Not that datacenters love heat, but the competition isn't extra hot, it's just hotter than Apple S

- ska 3y agoA 1U rack is a small machine, but a few hundred of them+ in a constrained space is a different story. At larger scales, moving electricity in and heat out are usually the defining factors.
