Beck: Compute consumes roughly 60% of data center power, cooling takes 40%
“Because when you think about a data center, the power consumption, it's roughly 60% of the power is being used to compute and 40% is being used to cool.”
Horowitz: Power or cooling bottlenecks will trigger an AI chip glut
“Yeah, and even if the bottleneck within the infrastructure moves, so if it becomes power, if it becomes cooling or anything else, then you'll have a chip glut for sure, yeah.”
McGavis: Data centers are currently the largest consumer of cooling
“Today, the biggest consumer of cooling is data centers. So as we talk about AI and all the AI applications, all that doesn't exist without a significant amount of cooling to keep those servers warm and keep those data centers operating.”
Rivest: Energy consumption from cooling will at least triple by 2050
“It depends upon how other sectors grow, but we know that cooling will at least triple in energy consumption between now and twenty-fifty.”
