Hi Matti, Sorry for the delay ...
In one of my project I am working on, we use based Avoton server (Intel C2350) for CI/CD which can be rented today (2025) for less than 5€/month at online.net (a french provider). Switching to more recent generation of processor (E3 1245v5) would imply at least 30€/month budget which is much more expensive. Concerning the energy cost, I believe Online has well optimized their cost and if they still offer this kind of server at such low price, it probably means this processor is still doing its job (which I can confirm) and that the manufacturing cost has already been paid of. It is like the switch to electric cars: it is not because all car owners would (miraculously) switch to electric cars that the climate issue would be (miraculously) addressed.

Do they use Numpy2.x in the CI/CD pipeline? _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list -- numpy-discussion@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to numpy-discussion-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3//lists/numpy-discussion.python.org Member address: arch...@mail-archive.com
