Data centers switch on to AI

The increasingly sophisticated AI services on offer from the hyperscale public cloud providers mean power requirements in data centers are likely to rocket in the coming years, the report’s authors say.

While the hyperscalers typically need 10-14kW per rack in existing data centers, this is likely to rise to 40-60kW for AI-ready racks equipped with resource-hungry GPUs. This means that overall consumption of data centers across the US is likely to reach 35GW by 2030, up from 17GW in 2022.

Machine learning is on track to consume all the energy being supplied, a model that is costly, inefficient, and unsustainable.

Improved power efficiency is not negotiable, it is a critical necessity or the lights will be going out and we'll be reading by candle light again!
