With AI, both GPU and CPU are pushed to the absolute limit and we shall be putting 750W to 1000W per unit with liquid cooling in Datacenter within next 5 - 8 years.
I wonder if we can actually use those heat for something useful.
- datadrivenangel 2y agoAttempts to use the waste heat for anything in a data center are likely very counter productive to actually cooling the chips
- itishappy 2y agoIt's going to be too low temperature for power production, but district heating should be viable!
- formerly_proven 2y agoThe mainstream data center GPUs are already at 700 W and Blackwell sits at ~1 kW.
- esseph 2y agoWe are looking at 600kW per rack, and liquid cooling is already deployed in many places.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoSo, one power plant per aisle of a data center?
