Measuring data centers in watts is like measuring cars in horsepower. Power isn't a direct measure of performance, but of the primary constraint on performance. When in doubt choose the thermodynamic perspective.

Gigawatts are units of power, gigawatthours are units of energy.

The equivalent of cars would be pricing by how much gas you burned, not horsepower.

1 horsepower = 745.7 watts

[pepperoni_pizza]

Yes, and that is both units of power, not energy.
