Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat

The Las Vegas Sphere might have an impressive spec sheet, but its energy demands are almost as staggering.

    I mean, it should be fine, just because the PSU can provide more watts doesn’t mean the system is actually using that much power. I have an 800w PSU in my gaming rig, but its average load is only 240 - 320w during gaming (I’ve measured it by powering the system with a portable Ecoflow battery).

        Where are you getting this from? Intuition?

        I think the quiescent current and losses are less in a well engineered psu.
