Living Green - Episode 128 - IBM Hydro Clusters

The video discusses a hydro cluster technology that uses water to cool devices, reducing energy consumption. Water chilled copper plates efficiently remove heat from microprocessors, which are the fastest available, offering over five times the performance of previous models. This technology could potentially cut data center energy use by 40%.

What is the primary function of the hydro cluster technology mentioned in the text?

How do water chilled copper plates contribute to the performance of microprocessors?

In what way do the microprocessors mentioned in the text compare to their predecessors?

What is the expected reduction in energy consumption for data centers using this new technology?

What overall benefit does the hydro cluster technology provide to data centers?
