Can you give a citation or backing research? In my experience, if you've got two similar operations, the one on the GPU will consume less power (assuming you don't need to transfer substantially more data over the bus).

i'm not an hardware expert, so I cannot tell you excactly how it works, but the point is: The device will calculate the same result in shorter time -> from what I know: If you want to calculate faster, you need more energy Also I don't think the devices are built to supply the CPU with less power while using the GPU.

Again: these are mostly assumptions, I'm not a hardware architect!
