Oops, thanks for the correction. OTOH zamalek elsewhere in these comments thinks 1MW is a considerable overestimate.

- jacquesm 11y agoThe 1MW figure was based on what I could get out of the available articles, if anybody has a better estimate backed with data then I'd be more than happy to update the article but if it's off by a factor of 2 or so then that's good enough for 'government work'. I'd still update the article but the conclusion would not be much different. The GPUs alone could consume that much power depending on the model but it's quite hard to find hard data on what went into the making of AlphaGo on the hardware side.

I don't know either.
