I run my LLM locally, and still have to turn the heating on because it’s not enough power. A high end card is normally rated for about 300W - and it’s only running in short bursts to answer questions. so if you are really pushing it, over time you will probably reach around 150Wh - that’s not enough at all. You would for sure use more power playing a game using Unreal Engine 5.
Power consumption of LLM’s is a lot lower than people think. And running it in a data center will surely be more energy efficient than my aging AM4 platform.
