Inner Mongolia's Hohhot Emerges as a Green Computing Power Hub Under China's Data Strategy
Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia, is becoming a national computing hub under China's 'East Data, West Computing' strategy. This initiative aims to facilitate data storage and processing in less-developed inland regions, leveraging local wind and solar energy for sustainable computing.
Hohhot benefits from direct green power supply, reduced electricity costs, and a cool climate that lowers cooling expenses. The city's computing power exceeds 122,000 petaflops, with 96% dedicated to intelligent computing, attracting 45 equipment manufacturing companies.
A local resource platform streamlines computing power access, achieving round-trip latencies under 5 milliseconds. This infrastructure supports over 3,600 research projects and enables smart agricultural practices, enhancing efficiency in sectors like dairy farming. Hohhot exemplifies China's commitment to combining economic growth with a green transition.
