    Any electrical engineers out there? My current thoughts on it: - Power transmission to homes would be less efficient than to datacenters - Datacenter design can allow for better efficiency & build in energy generation - Datacenters = higher utilisation, less wasted resources.https://twitter.com/Hoigwai/status/1153582035971129344 …

    Maybe, maybe not. Would require some study to see if all things being equal the server farm works out to better efficiency and is cleaner.

        If I try to think about the fundamentals, it seems more feasible to continually improve datacenter design than it does to get more efficient electronics to homes?

        You still need to power the devices at home to play on. Plus there's also all of the additional power consumption from the audiovisual feed data transmission.

        Yeah. PS4 Pro is around 300W, TVs are like 150W iirc. So... Is 300W in the home less than streaming from a datacenter.

        From the article, I think the issue they were raising was that, now, there's no regulation or requirement for datacenters to have min efficiency standards. So right now the issue is that there's inefficient datacenters on top of the existing power usage. Hence, "can't continue".

        Fair, but the economic incentives point in the direction of better data centres? An interesting one. Usually increased taxation would just drive them to another country, but that won't work for many datacenter applications. ...plus they'll want them in their legal jurisdiction

        I don't think it's about electricy to power up the servers, but rather the electricity required to keep it from overheating. Cooling solutions for data centres generate a very significant carbon footprint.

        Data centers main problem is the need for supporting infrastructure. Heat being the main problem. Your pc needs a fan, a data center needs a lake to cool it. But as with everything it's a more complex task to achive, but better efficiency and new ways have always been found.

        Data centers can be placed right next to a power plant and a lake or river to utilise for cooling and don't need repeaters and so on. But looking at total power usage the power line needs to go where peolpe live so the loss is there anyway even if it's less efficient.

        One of the largest factors to consider (believe it or not) is how much additional concrete is required to house any additional data centres. Apparently one major obstacle to climate saving tech is how much concrete they use, as it automatically puts you deep in the red to offset
