You have a citation for 2022 which is right before use of AI exploded and NVIDIA started selling AI machines like hotcakes. I expect energy use to be much larger this year.
- morphle 3y agoI'm sure you are right but the numbers for 2023 will be published next year. We can also estimate [2] and extrapolate from the recent shift of 30% (?) of bitcoin mining from China to the US [1]. ARPA-E funded the tabulation of all US energy uses in Sankey Diagrams, which included datacenter use [2] but also does not split out NVDIA's, Bitcoin mining or AI's parts.
