[edit]Power consumption of the same operation in two microchips
[edit]If you pick two microchips of different processing power, would they spend the same amount of energy for performing the same operation? --Hofhof (talk) 18:58, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- No. In particular, you've specified "the same operation" rather than "the same operation in the same time". It's very common that the same operation (in bulk) increases in power consumption with speed. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:23, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
