Patel quantifies that 20% performance per watt advantage translates to only 4% TCO difference on NVIDIA deployments.
“But capital is far more of a limiting factor. Because if you have enough power, a 20% difference in performance per watt only ends up being a 4% difference in TCO.”
Patel calculates 20% power efficiency difference translates to only 4% TCO difference on NVIDIA deployments.
“Because if you have enough power, a 20% difference in performance per watt only ends up being a 4% difference in TCO.”
Patel calculates that without Supermicro's liquid cooling solution, servers would consume 30% more power.
“So that's why Shibbol Micro dedicated deep cooling so aggressively. And if the liquid cooling solution from Super Micro didn't exist, then those servers would be consuming 30% more power.”
