Any electrical engineers out there? My current thoughts on it: - Power transmission to homes would be less efficient than to datacenters - Datacenter design can allow for better efficiency & build in energy generation - Datacenters = higher utilisation, less wasted resources.https://twitter.com/Hoigwai/status/1153582035971129344 …

You still need to power the devices at home to play on. Plus there's also all of the additional power consumption from the audiovisual feed data transmission.

Yeah. PS4 Pro is around 300W, TVs are like 150W iirc. So... Is 300W in the home less than streaming from a datacenter.

According to an article by ZDNet, the average server is about 850 Watts, so round that to 900 Watts.https://www.zdnet.com/article/toolkit-calculate-datacenter-server-power-usage/ …

Yeah that's the server - 1 server can equal many users.

Actually, last I heard people were speculating at 1 player per server instance. https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/19/google-scores-a-custom-amd-gpu-to-power-its-stadia-cloud-gaming-hardware/ …

1 server = multiple instances. What's in the first article & what you just linked isn't the same thing. The Stadia stuff is very dumbed down to sell it to consumers & make for an easy comparison with consumer tech
