Was looking through my office window at the data closet and (due to angle, objects, field of view) could only see one server light cluster out of the 6 racks full. And thought it would be nice to scale everything down to 2U. Then day-dreamed about a future where a warehouse data center was reduced to a single hypercube sitting alone in the vast darkness.
I sometimes wonder how powerful a computer could be made if we kept the current transistor size we have now, but still built the machine to take up an entire room. At what point would the number of transistors and the size of the machine become more of a problem than a solution? 🤔
