TSMC modeled its facility in Phoenix on one at home. But bringing the company’s complex manufacturing process to America has been a bigger challenge than it expected.

    It’s disgusting how many data centers are located in Phoenix. It’s the (mostly) dry climate, and that allows better thermal and moisture control.

    that says to me “american data centers have cheaped out on moisture control” and one good big wet storm over arizona is gonna fuck some shit up

      Nah. They already know which areas get the heaviest rains during monsoon season and which areas are prone to flooding and build accordingly.

      Haven’t heard of one yet that went down due to rain. That might change in the future though.
