How AI Data Centers Can Grow While Limiting Their Emissions
AI data centers can actually expand without completely wrecking the environment, but it requires some serious innovation that most companies are still figuring out how to pay for. The challenge is massive since artificial intelligence workloads consume way more power than traditional computing, with updated data showing the average dual socket server now draws 600-750 watts compared to 365 watts just a few years ago. AI has been responsible for around 5-15% of data center power use recently, but this could increase to 35-50% by 2030, meaning the window for implementing solutions is closing fast. The energy breakdown reveals where…
