Who do you think is the fastest-growing consumer of electricity on this planet? Data centers. I was watching a talk by Prof. David Patterson—the inventor of RISC architecture—at Google I/O 2025. He mentioned a report from the IEA, which says that data centers consume 1.5% of the world’s total electricity. Notably, the report states that "electricity consumption by data centers in China could double by 2027." Where is it heading? (xAI datacenter on the photo)
