AFAIK "orbital data centers" are a bunch of nonsense. 1. GPUs create heat. There's no efficient way to get rid of the heat in space (vacuum is an insulator).

AFAIK "orbital data centers" are a bunch of nonsense.

2. Die-shrink makes modern processors and memory more and more susceptible to radiation; shielding is possible, but adds cost + mass (which adds cost)
