>The 2.5 GHz prototype uses 80 times less energy than its semiconductor counterpart, even accounting for cooling

It's in the header of the article.




The way it reads though is that the chip itself uses less power but still needs to be cooled which takes a lot of energy (traditionally)


>even accounting for cooling

No.


stuff like this makes me wonder what the distribution on human context limits is.


It is very small, but humans tend to internalize knowledge as they read giving essentially infinite but lossy context length. Those posters failed to internalize the message here so they get the wrong knowledge out of the message.


That was both self referential and ignorant of what? Oh. .. forgetting. Or the simulatianiety. Or not. I am stuck in a zero sum post, or not. A comma uses less energy than three dots,
