China begins building underwater data center with performance equal to 6 million PCs

China started to assemble what seems to be the world’s first commercial underwater data center off the coast of Sanya, a coastal city south of Hainan Island. According to CCTV, each data storage unit can process more than four million high-definition images in 30 seconds. The estimated performance claimed to be comparable to approximately 60,000 regular computers operating in unison and aims to save 122 million KWh of electricity and nearly ten soccer fields of land.
