Of course. Why (and what) are you trying to compare between Bitcoin mining (PoW) and Solana validating (PoS)? Five or so years ago I did about 25 kW constant load of PoW mining so yes, I'm pretty familiar.
In additional to the Solana validator from my original comment I've also run Ethereum and Cardano validators (or rough equivalents). They use a fraction of the compute required by a Solana validator while providing similar rewards and network function.
Again, in terms of PoS chain validators the hardware requirements of Solana are significantly higher than any other PoS chain I'm aware of - it's not even close.
