How Much Electricity Does It Take to Run the Web? (Switched)

Oct 23rd 2009 12:09PM Not to mention that this info graphic does little to explain what size data center is being referenced, what type of servers other than the obligatory small, medium, and large.

@CK - Do your own math, come up with your own conclusions vs listening to what somebody else tells you.
Trust me, great leaps and bounds are being made by Intel and AMD daily to try and shrink the die sizes in their fabrication methods, just in the last 5 years alone we have gone from 90nm to 35nm dies, which is leaps and bounds smaller than 10 years ago, what that does for us? generally less power used because the processors are more efficient, heat generated is wasted energy, also because the heat is generated that means bigger AC's are used to cool these data centers.

It isn't the actions of one group of people, its the collective of the entire industry that will bring the change.

Trust me, we are working on it...
