But that's due to glass, concrete and so on. Building materials.

Global sand consumption has reached 50 billion tonnes a year, or about 17 kilograms per person per day

Even if every person in the world gets a glass CPU and GPU, that would only add a few grams of consumption. Once, not per day.

It's such a tiny amount that's it's entirely irrelevant.
