China begins building underwater data center with performance equal to 6 million PCs — aims to save 122 million KWh of electricity and nearly ten soccer fields of land | Data centers find refuge at…::China Central Television reports that China has added another data module to the country’s commercial underwater data center (UDC) off Hainan Island.
On site access would be so expensive
oops we forgot to plug in a cable better hop in the submersible to keep up them 9’s babyyy
Not if we build underwater cities. Rapture incoming!
That’s a cool idea. The bottom of the ocean is a pretty hostile environment though, it better be very well engineered to have any sort of longevity.
It’s 35m deep - for comparison recreational scuba divers go up to 30m deep and professional scuba divers up to 60m deep.
It will have to be well engineered and difficult to repair compared to a land facility, but nothing compared to like the space station.
Very cool idea, after 25 years there should be significant cost savings overall.

equal to 6 million PCs
That has literally no value. My Pi is probably equal to 6 million PCs - if you count C64s as PCs.
Great. Now we’re just apparently directly warming the oceans instead of indirectly.
It will take more streaming porn to boil the ocean than even you could watch.
