The Future of Green Computing? – Intel’s Sierra Forest

12 September 2023

In the relentless pursuit of innovation, tech leaders are continuing to push the boundaries of what is possible within the realm of data centres.

The Intel Sierra Forest chip has recently been unveiled with a stated 240% increase in performance per watt compared with its current generation and will double the amount of computing work while using the same power.

Not only does this imply a reduced carbon footprint but also indicates a decisive stride in the industry’s attempts to reduce energy consumption.

 

 

For us here at Foreman Roberts, the advent of Sierra Forest represents an exciting opportunity where potential power savings of this size could have a significant impact on the power and cooling infrastructure for data centres.

We continue to keep abreast of such innovations and advances in technology to advise our clients on the impact of their data centre infrastructures.
