This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Yeah, that's the proper way to think about it. And honestly, it should be servers or racks per capita (i.e. some standard unit), not just "datacenters," since those can be of varying size.
I would really want a measure of actual compute power, like teraflops per capita or something. Still imperfect, but better than just counting the number of buildings.
Yeah, almost any metric is more useful than this one, and I'm an American who "benefits" from this stat.
