Yeah.
Yeah, but I think that the world has had to come back now and look at it, albeit, you know, 100 times more powerful.
But, I mean, when we look at what NVIDIA have done and are doing with, you know, the Grace Blackwell chips only being 62% efficient in air and now the forthcoming Rubin chips demanding more power than small cities in some cases to be able to operate at overclock speeds.
We've got...
everybody trying to stretch the bandwidth or push the bandwidth some way they're trying to pull it or push it or you know get a bit more capacity out of it we're looking at 800 volts just to be able to get enough power on the buzz bars into the actual panel to be able to do it but one when i came across
that you had done extensive work on piloting total cost of ownership, which became the latest big buzzword in the OCP world about a year and a half ago.
Have these changes and this inexhaustive effort to try and stretch the boundaries, has this really made a mess of your total cost of ownership doctrine?
Are you now at the stage where you've got to
come up with more Excel spreadsheets to decide what type of direct-to-chip cooling we're dealing with today?
Yeah, yeah, it's a valid point.
You're
talking about uh mutual ideas ideas that have been talked about all over not only you're saying the mainframe computers we're seeing this push to the edge now where i suppose the lack of available power at any big kind of a section or any in at any one node if you like uh especially in europe you don't seem to have that problem in america you seem to be able to click your fingers and generate your own power anywhere you want wherever you want it it's
We're almost envious of it over here in Europe.
into the in into the united states in terms of ability to get power as as kind of a what are they like a a ticket for admission you gotta have some kind of minimum uh performance yeah we say we say in the world i think it's a generalization and i think we have to generalize because i think to get into specifics at this point is uh misleading because if we go down the road of highlighting one specific i think we're just ignoring the industry as a whole the specific
Spore leaders are seeing every so often as we come to, and you speak about this very well, the inflection points that are bringing the hyperscaler users to these realization moments when we hit these inflection points to talk about any one of them.
It almost seems like every six weeks, there's another one that's making a significant surge to the overall idea.
But I always liked the circularity approach that the United States were very quick to point out that they wanted to keep a circularity boat in terms of the buildings that housed these data centers.
I really loved a number of the points that they spoke about, but I was always worried that
where the US innovates and shall we say China replicates in general and Europe regulates, I was very worried that that was setting three different bars and three different levels.
And I'm just so glad to hear you point that out because we do feel or we are seeing or starting to see signs that the United States have taken their responsibilities, as we might call them, because I know we certainly don't want to use the word regulation.
