it's not unprecedented, when companies' businesses contract, shrinking is exactly the right thing to do, not to mention that it's forced on them anyway.
- jsemrau 1y agoIt's not unprecedented, but I question if it is the right move while the industry is experiencing unprecedented growth. "The Global Data Center Chip Market size is expected to be worth around USD 57.9 Billion by 2033, from USD 14.3 Billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 15.0% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2033." https://market.us/report/data-center-chip-market/ https://market.us/report/data-center-chip-market/
- throwaway2037 1y agoThinking about the Rule of 72, that CAGR is astonishing. Where will the power come from to run these data centers? Are we going to see an explosion of solar and wind farms with the express purpose of powering data centers? I say solar and wind because they are easier to get approved and built compared to nuclear or gas/coal.
