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 …

According to an article by ZDNet, the average server is about 850 Watts, so round that to 900 Watts.https://www.zdnet.com/article/toolkit-calculate-datacenter-server-power-usage/ …

Yeah that's the server - 1 server can equal many users.

I mean, you need the TV regardless. What you need to compare is a PS4 pro (300W) to a section of a datacenter blade server and the power of a chromecast ultra (5W it seems ?)
-
And take into account you home's AC needs to cool off that 300W's from the PS. While in a datacenter AC's are much efficiënt

maybe you save some power at home. on the other side you have factors like: - network carrier infrastructure around the globe - network switches from the various providers - some tech on the last mile to the home so you only shift costs from one point to another
