Power consumption is a big deal. You can power modem ai chips with very small battery packs. That leaves more room for explosives

- m4rtink 2y agoOr longer range with the same warhead. Or better feature detection & terminal targetting, etc.
- andrewflnr 2y agoTrue, but how much has power consumption changed in the last few years? Enough to be a serious obstacle in the face of, say, a determined national defense effort? Serious question, I guess. I don't really know know how power consumption varies across the last few generations of chips, or among the chips you'd plausibly choose between for a warhead or something. But I'm guessing it's not a huge effect.
- nothercastle 2y agoI mean just look at modern cpus and gpus. Power consumption gets cut in half between generations. So it can be a big deal but you are right about diminishing returns at some point it’s low enough.
