Nvidia revealed that the Las Vegas Sphere is powered by 150 RTX A6000 GPUs, with 48 GB of video memory each.
All this hardware drives 1.2 million LED panels outside and the 16000x16000 screens inside.
The total cost of the GPUs is over $1m.

And how much power it consumes ? To what purpose 😧 .. saying this cuz people think #bitcoin is a power hog ..
The Las Vegas Sphere, an impressive high-tech entertainment structure, consumes up to 28 megawatts of energy at its peak. To put this into perspective, a single megawatt is enough to power approximately 750 homes in the Nevada/California region.
It’s interesting to note how luxury entertainment, like the Sphere, uses as much energy as large Bitcoin operations but faces far less criticism. This difference in perception says a lot about how we prioritize and value different types of technology.
You said it ... What a collosal waste ..
But my heart burns when they point fingers on bitcoin which in truth helps energy industry..
That thing is really distracting
