That's one way to solve the AI data center cooling issue. Of course it would make the data centers deadly to support staff, so I anticipate that will make it to market.
700degrees would likely degrade the structures housing the chips. and would likely make it even more expensive.
There’s a reason they run laptops on the ISS, space data centres are a pipe dream without power generation and all the other necessary infrastructure.
support staff is cheap. more so when dead.
It's to survive in a space datacenter with bad cooling.
