Re:The Dark Silicon Problem and What It Means for CPU Design... by cgdcraig on Monday July 23, 2018 @11:24PM (#17597897)
That's true only of devices that don't convert the energy into work(motors), light(LEDs) or other voltages(transformers). All other electronics convert all the power into heat. Basically any computer is a heater that so happens is able to do math as well. Energy is consumed for doing a computation but it's 6-7 orders smaller than what the heat produced
