Scroll down to learn more.
A ChatGPT request requires 2.9 watt-hours of electricity.
Which is equivilent to turning on a 60-watt light bulb for just under three minutes.
This is about 10 times as much energy used for a Google search.
This is because a typical rack of servers in a data center can consume around 30 to 40 kW.
When rigged with AI processors that same rack could consume 3 to 4 times more electricity.
The growth of AI is driving forecasted power demand to increase by 43% to 50 GW by 2030.
