With AI, both GPU and CPU are pushed to the absolute limit and we shall be putting 750W to 1000W per unit with liquid cooling in Datacenter within next 5 - 8 years.

I wonder if we can actually use those heat for something useful.

It's going to be too low temperature for power production, but district heating should be viable!

The mainstream data center GPUs are already at 700 W and Blackwell sits at ~1 kW.

We are looking at 600kW per rack, and liquid cooling is already deployed in many places.

So, one power plant per aisle of a data center?

Attempts to use the waste heat for anything in a data center are likely very counter productive to actually cooling the chips
