$LWLG worth another look>> one volt is indeed huge
Post# of 871
Today the data center industry is already using around 6% of total worldwide energy consumption and with data traffic increasing at a rate of 75% per year, almost 25% of all available energy worldwide will soon (2025?' be needed to operate all data centers.
To address this situation, a huge step change in energy consumption from manufacturers of devices and data center operators will be required, to make a wild understatement.
Today about three to four voltage conversions from AC to DC take place from source to data centers operations leading to energy loss in the process ( about 160 watts per server of which typically there are five in a data center rack) and a huge need for heatdissepation and cooling by each conversion, not to mention the need for back ups in case of electricity black outs.
Today a server uses around 600 Watts process capacity. Being able to operate servers at 1 Volt drive signal is unheard off, it is truly breakthrough in lowering energy consumption
