Also worth noting that that Xeon processor takes somewhere around 350-400W and the V100 is also in the range of 300W. So not huge on energy savings. Although a really cool, potentially industry shaking breakthrough, regardless.
- mkl 7y agoThe V100 would need to run for 3.5 times as long, so would use way more energy. E.g. training for 1 hour on CPU: 400W×1h = 400Wh of energy, vs training for 3.5h on GPU: 300W×3.5h = 1050Wh of energy.

- tyingq 7y agoI realize TDP is a bit gamed, but Intel shows the E5-2699A as 145W. Curious where you got the 350-400W for the CPU. Nvidea lists 300W as the TDP for the V100.

- qayxc 7y agoSince the article doesn't specify how power draw was measured, I assume that they measured _total system_ power consumption. This is not to be confused with the CPU power requirements as it includes the entire platform and all losses (e.g. power supply, main board, peripherals, cooling, ...).
