I disagree. Software and hardware optimisations have not happened since the Rocky Mountain Institute did this data centre efficiency analysis [1]. If I had the time I could add numbers from Google, Microsoft and other hyperscaler analyses on software efficiencies in their datacenter papers. I'm sure Alan Kay has some insights on software efficiencies [2]. A small part of hardware inefficiencies are the energy use per transistor of computer chips. It has gone up since the 28nm node. Our datacenters have primarily smaller node chips (16nm, 7nm, 5nm) and have therefore gone up in energy use.
