So if each GPU takes 1,800W, isn’t that the equivalent of what a handheld hair dryer consumes?
It’s more than your average space heater.
And that energy doesn't just go away after computing. You'll have the equivalent of an average space heater of heat coming out of your computer. It'd be awesome to compute with heating energy when needed, but when you need AC it's going to be a bitch.
Yes, and you leave it on all day at full blast. And you have a dedicated building where there's thousands of them doing the same.
All to take away jobs and break the internet.
Yes, but they are not gaming devices. They are meant to efficiently compute things. When used for that purpose they use little energy compared to other devices doing the same thing.
