The gravity well time dilation is about 3.5 nanoseconds per meter per year near the surface of the earth. (time changes rate with altitude in a gravity well)
Sub-nanosecond synchronization is getting into the relativity is measurable realm.
That means you get a free clock cycle every 2-3 hours on top of a mountain compared to sea level!
Datacenters in spaaaace!
But they travel at 8 km/s so actually that cancels benefits? EDIT: checked, not enough to cancel them completely.
