(Bringing liquid cooling to the racks likely has to be one of the biggest challenges with this whole new HPC/AI datacenter infrastructure, so the fact that an aircooled rack can just sit in mostly any ordinary facility is a non-trivial advantage.)
75kW is a sane "default baseline" and you can find plenty of deployments at 130kW.
There's talk of pushing to 240kW and beyond...
Are you sure about that? HPC has had full rack liquid cooling for a long time now.
The primary challenge with the current generation is the unusual increase of power density in racks. This necessitates upgrades in capacity, notably getting 10-20 kWh of heat away from few Us is generally though but if done can increase density.
Watt is a measure of power, that is a rate: Joule/second, [energy/time]
> The watt (symbol: W) is the unit of power or radiant flux in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 joule per second or 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3.[1][2][3] It is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer.
One household uses about 30 kWh per day.
20 kW * 24 = 480 kWh per day for the server.
So you're looking at one server (if parent's 20kW number is accurate - I see other sources saying even 25kW) consuming 16 households worth of energy.
For comparison, a hair dryer uses around 1.5 kW of energy, which is just below the rating for most US home electrical circuits. This is something like 13 hair dryers going on full blast.
1 Watt = 1 Joule per second.
A KW is a unit of power while a KWH is a unit of energy. Power is a measure of energy transferred in an amount of time, which is why you rate an electronic device’s energy usage using power; it consumes energy over time.
In terms of paying for electricity, you care about the total energy consumed, which is why your electric bill is denominated in KWH, which is the amount of energy used if you use one kilowatt of power for one hour.
