One kilowatt-hour is equal to the energy used to maintain one kilowatt of power for one hour 2. Therefore, 7,200 kilowatt-hours is equivalent to 7.2 megawatt-hours (MWh) per year.Knarf, maybe it is just me but I do not understand your data.7,200 kilowatt hour a year is just that.I don't follow how you are saying it is equivalent to 7.2 megawatt-hrs? I am missing something?
To calculate the energy consumption of Bing per day, we need to divide the annual energy consumption by the number of days in a year. There are 365 days in a year, so the energy consumption of Bing per day is approximately 19.7 MWh (7,200 MWh / 365 days
Yea, it makes no since to me....sorry, here is something that might give us some idea of the new search engines energy use.
While energy usage has not been disclosed, it's estimated that GPT-4 consumed between 51,773 MWh and 62,319 MWh, over 40 times higher than what its predecessor, GPT-3, consumed. This is equivalent to the energy consumption over 5 to 6 years of 1,000 average US households.
