Why so many? Its resolution is 16000 x 16000 which is a lot but also not that much. Is it doing more than just video output?
This is an ad.
I don’t know if they’re conflating rendering with display or just assuming those GPU are at max TDP 24/7, but they’re way off on actual energy consumption.
There seems to be a lot of recent articles attacking datacenters, particularly those involved in LLM “ai” work. This feels like one of those articles.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t keep them in check, but I also don’t like being manipulated by “grass roots initiative” marketing companies, particularly on Lemmy.
The AI numbers are pretty solid. Papers published on Hugging face list training times and platform and convert that into CO2. Those will be full load for weeks/months across arrays of GPUs.
In this case, I don’t see why you’d need that kind of hardware for this application. You might be right that it’s not running at maximum load. If so, then somebody has been mis-sold the hardware. Whatever you’re doing it will be at a consistent load though. They are always doing the same thing.
But can it run Crysis?
Reveals? Is that the right word? The sphere has been around for a while now, was this information not known? Doesn’t seem like something they were intentionally keeping secret.
