DISQUS

JR · 3 years ago

If Intel's Core 2 Duo represents a new direction in CPU design towards energy efficiency, we can hope that we are heading in the right direction. Efficiencies represent an ever-present energy resource. Centralized consumption such as a server farm represents a prime target for significant efficiency gains.

if all these server farms create loads of heat, put them in colder parts of the world and siphon off the heat to warm peoples houses.

curiosity led me to search for the carbon footprint of the internet,obviously that led me here.but whilst the information i found above is a part of the answer i also need to know roughly the total number of servers running worldwide,including service providers as well as storage and search engines.but more importantly how many home + company pc's are connected up as an average over a 24 hour period, and there average powere consumption. any help on these questions would be much appreciated. thanks spiderbark.
