This presentation highlights the rapid growth in Field Effect Transistor (FET) technology, with modern GPUs containing over 200 billion transistors each. As transistor counts soar, so does power consumption—Nvidia’s shipped GPUs alone consumed over 14 TWh in 2023. With global data center energy demands projected to triple, the presentation advocates for transitioning data from power-hungry disk storage to more energy-efficient systems. This shift offers significant power savings, lower carbon emissions, and cost reductions—providing a scalable path to support future computing growth without overloading existing power infrastructure.
