A functioning 120v breaker will start tripping at 1800 watts.
Amps x volts = watts. 15 amps x 120v= 1800 watts.

Someone care to explain how an old fogey like myself can tell recent processors apart? Back in my day a Pentium 4 was better then a Pentium 3 and a 2.4 Ghz was better then a 2.3 Ghz.
Now everything is is an I3/5/7/9 regardless of what year it was made and its now "generations".
Is the best way to tell by looking at a I7 12th gen being better then a I7 13th? Do GHz even matter anymore?

That actually sounds terrible. Fortunately it's nowhere near that bad because you won't be running heavy loads all day.

Uh, no. If we round 1 MHz to 0 GHz then we went from 0, to 3, to 6. In the same amount of time we'll have 9 GHz. This is obvious math.

Those are leds, incandescent are the gas filled bulbs that can take a range or anywhere between 25watts to 100watts. They were chosen over longer lasting bulbs because of the bulb industry able to profit off the sale of.
Realistically a standard house hold incandescent bulb used 60watts.
6x60 is 360 I obviously exaggerated.
It is more like 4 to 11 incandescent bulbs.

We could’ve gotten to 6GHz sooner by using deeper pipelines like the Pentium line, but it would’ve resulted in poorer performance. Clock cycles per second isn’t everything, what you do with those cycles is just as if not more important.

Yeah, it does feel like Intel is going down that whole “chasing more megahertz/gigahertz” thing again and feeding into the old megahertz/gigahertz myth, something which Apple and AMD back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s rightfully attacked them for.

Heh, 3mhz Pentium 4s. They were slow, but they weren't *that* slow.

Large data centers recover the heat and use them for preheating.

I think that was solely Jony Ive overruling all the engineers. He doesn’t call the shots anymore, see the MacBook Pro that got thicker and added ports

Grabbed 3 antminers when they released first edition. Those mining rigs plus 2 gaming pcs in the dining room between two rooms kept it fairly toasty with fans blowing to rooms.
