You can't really use compute more because power is already the bottleneck. Datacenter buildouts are now being measured in GW which tells you everything you need to know. Newer hardware will be a lot more power-efficient but also highly scarce for that reason.

Energy is also being scaled up. But the fundamental difference between compute and fiber buildup is different in my opinion.
