Researchers from Microsoft, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Washington have developed GreenSKUs, a sustainable server design approach that focuses on reusing components like RAM and SSDs to reduce carbon emissions. Leveraging backward compatibility and a framework for evaluating component reuse, GreenSKUs incorporate energy-efficient AMD Bergamo processors to cut emissions tied to hardware manufacturing. Despite challenges like latency in reused RAM modules, the project aims to reduce global carbon emissions by 0.1–0.2% and aligns with efforts to address the growing carbon costs of cloud computing.
