- celrod 3y agoWe supposedly consume about 100 watts at rest. Given that my flops are low (less than one!), I don't think I'm an efficient processor. At least for floating point operations. Producing paper and ink cartridges isn't free, either. I might be competitive with an LLM + GPUs, but I imagine it'll demolish me on throughput.
- monocasa 3y agoI run inference pretty efficiently with those 100 watts.
