The electrical power consumed per rack; AI racks run 50-120kW versus 5-10kW for traditional racks.
Power Density is the electrical power consumed per server rack, measured in kilowatts. AI racks run 50-120kW against 5-10kW for traditional enterprise racks, a 10x or greater jump that forces liquid cooling and strains grid connections. Rising power density is the engine behind the data-center power and cooling investment theses. See Power Constraint 101.
