Now, let's give some figures. Strubell, Ganesh & McCallum showed, from a common neural network used to process natural language, that training consumed 350 tons of CO₂ , or 300 round trips between gambling data qatar New York and San Francisco. In 2016, Intel announced that the autonomous car would consume 4 petabytes… per day , knowing that in 2020 a person generates or transmits 2 GB/day: 2 million times more. The figure announced in 2020 is rather 1 to 2 TB/hour , or 5000 times more than individual traffic.
A surveillance camera records 8 to 15 images/second. If the image is 4 MB, we arrive at 60 MB/s, without compression, or 200 GB/hour: this is anything but a detail in the digital energy ecosystem. The IEA's EDNA report highlights this risk. "Volumetric video", based on 5K cameras, generates a flow of 1 TB... every 10 seconds. Intel believes that this format is "the future of Hollywood" !
Online gambling already uses more power in California than electric water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, clothes dryers or electric stoves.
