Comment on Making an image with generative AI uses as much energy as charging your phone

This is outdated in a big way with stable diffusion turbo and the recent LCM models that can render images at 30fps on a 3090.
360w * 1s /60 seconds a minute / 60 minutes an hour = .1 wh/image
Or 100 mwh
30 images a second? 3.3 mwh
A phone battery is 3000 mah * 3.5volts 10,500 mwh
3,181 images per phone charge.
My math is probably off, but you get the idea.

You’re off by 3 orders of magnitude.
30 * 0.1Wh = 3Whbioemerl@kbin.social 6 months ago
That's 100mwh for a second of 3090 time/ 30 images a second.
If a 3090 was sucking down 3WH for 1/30th a second it would melt.
