>>108411966only goypu's need 600W. jewcenter gpus need like half as much power.
>>108411974This. The rich do not pay for their own shit. (You) pay for them.
datacenter energy demand is probably pretty predictable (and also stationary), so this should give them better rates

>>108411966They have been complaining about not having enough power for the last 6 months. Also, by having all of the AI shit be massively unprofitable in spite of getting handed ridiculous amounts of money by investors.
>>108412198wrong.nvidia's official server are rumored to draw around ~200kW per rack. also, for every 1W of power draw, you need about .5W to cool it off (pumps, fans), but it varies if you have access to a river or use evaporative cooling
