    This is a pretty good article about it, with this being the relevant graph:

    Like I say, it’s going to become a significant thing, and I’m sure for the tiny fraction of all the world’s data centers that are operated by Microsoft specifically it already is, but it isn’t yet, on a global scale.

        Not really. The primary sources for the chart are actually in the image, and there’s a link in the Verge article if you’re able to read academic papers.

              The verge put out a really terrible PC building guide about 5 years ago which hurt their reputation. So the joke is just that the verge isn’t trust worthy.

              But that was 5 years ago and they corrected their mistakes since.

                And when this guy says terrible, they basically put out a video where they did everything wrong to an almost impressive degree
