Just one tray?

They pack them 18 a cabinet (10+k per datacentre):

(Lol, just looked it up - according to this the biggest planned AI datacentre is 7.5GW or 9,375,000 microwaves ... and ofc powered by pure fossil gas.)

One liter of fuel is 9.5 kWh, I think your calculation is too low.

~~You are confusing energy and power, kWh is an amount of energy, kW is an instantaneous power~~

Edit: you're replying to another comment, my bad. This comment is not in the correct thread though

Oh damn, you're right I pressed the wrong reply button. Sorry for the confusion

Driving a car that gets 6L/100km for an hour is almost 9Kw. How far do you drive a year?

You're right, we should force everyone to walk so we can build more data centers.

Driving to work to earn money to survive isn't wasting energy imo. Using 6.4kWh an hour to help people design an awful poster is

I'm sure my metabolism wastes a lot of energy, maybe I should starve. Or die.
