Only the most gullible and uneducated believed there was any kind of reasoning and logic behind LLMs. Anyone with the tiniest speck of understanding is aware that it's a fancy auto-completion engine.
And now you have some Apple engineers publishing a paper to tell us what everyone already knew, taking all the credit in the process.
@killyourfm would be worthy to note that your low (288W for Dirt 5 at 1440p) would pretty much be my high. I measured around 210W max from a 5700XT and 80W max from a Ryzen 5 2600. 4k gaming has a much heavier impact on power consumption than 120Hz gaming. I haven't tried 4k gaming, but with FSR and DLSS it may no longer be necessary to render at such high resolutions?
@killyourfm that's a really cool project! I started a small tool to gather this kind of data (https://github.com/lutris/hardmon) but it's for CPU and GPU only. What do you use to measure power consumption from the wall? I have some smart plug which might do the trick
@killyourfm for me it was 2 Aeropress coffees + some Discord for my main console. Cleaning the whole kitchen for the Lutris demo console. And... uh, some sexy time for the Steam Deck ?
