Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer

Have you ever seen a solar array that gives 28 MW?

Or how about six wind turbines? It’s rather windy in Las Vegas.

I mean, have you seen it with your own eyes?

Zachariah@lemmy.world · 1 年前

I’ve flown over a couple big ones. Not sure of the exactly area or output.

Is it bigger or smaller than a football field?

NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world · 1 年前

Rough calculation says it needs about 28 ha, this could be about 30 football fields (depending on whatever they mean in your area when they say football :))

Thank you for doing the math.

110MW https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent_Dunes_Solar_Energy_Project

392MW https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_Solar_Power_Facility

These are both near Vegas.
