Computer hardware is always getting faster and more powerful. With each new generation we get more cores, more bandwidth, and just... more power. The more powerful hardware gets the more power hungry it gets, that is the case. Thankfully researchers at the University of Waterloo found a way to cut datacenter power consumption by up to 30%!
