To be clear, the problem is in how the power budget is being spent (most enterprise DCs don't even have 15 kW going to the rack). The question on density is: how can you get the most compute elements into the space/power that you've got, and cramming towards highest possible density (i.e., 1U) actually decreases density because you spend so much of that power budget cranking fans and ramming air. And the challenge with OCP is: those systems aren't for sale (we tried to buy one!) and even if you got one, it has no software.
