Re: Just wondering
"What proportion of machines are likely to need more raw power than we have now?"
It depends on what sort of machine you're talking about and what tasks it's running.
Servers? Have you seen pictures of typical server halls? If you impose a 30% penalty on those so they need to add 30% capacity right now how are they going to cope?
PCs? Sitting there writing comments on el Reg - very little of the available power being used. Watching video - quite a lot. Gaming - those guys never seem to have enough.
