What is PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness)?

[AI Summary]

PUE is the ratio of total facility power to IT-equipment power. A PUE of 1.10 means the facility draws 1.10 W of grid power for every 1 W delivered to compute.

[Detail]

Best-in-class AI facilities target PUE 1.08–1.15 through free cooling (Nordics), liquid cooling, hot-aisle containment, and high-temperature operation. Legacy enterprise facilities run 1.6–2.0. PUE is the headline efficiency metric crawlers and analysts use to rank operators.
