K80 maximum input power is 300W. The average price people in the U.S. pay for electricity is about 12 cents per kilowatt-hour. So, around 4 cents an hour?

- brianwawok 10y agoPlus you need to cool that 300W in a datacenter, which costs a few cents I am sure.
- overcast 10y agoGoogle is renewable at this point I believe.
- bpicolo 10y agoWhich doesn't even remotely mean their energy is free (though they don't pay as much as you do at home per unit, because they specifically build datacenters where they can get power cheaper, because it's a huge cost at datacenter scale)
- overcast 10y agoI didn't say it was even remotely free, but it's at a scale compared to consumers that it's pretty damn close. 70 cents a minute is A LOT to pay to run these GPU's on Google's end. Which is the point of this discussion.
- Buge 10y agoOn the market, renewable energy costs more than non-renewable, simply because there is a higher demand for renewable, and non-renewable has no benefit for consumers.
