You are saying it uses the same amount of computing power, but the time is different? I guess I was more concerned about resource use. If you drive your car 100 or 200 km, it might use the same amount of fuel per km but you end up using more fuel on the longer drive
yes. it’s not more resource intensive, it’s just doing more iterations.
and from my measurements, spending 15-30 seconds on max power draw is not a lot compared to gaming for an hour. datacenters use less power per iteration than my gpu, but they run all the time.
in the same way that playing minecraft for two hours is “more taxing” than playing for one, sure
Two games was actually the example I had in mind, with them both demanding resources but the other being much more taxing on the system, yeah
well that’s not what’s going on. there’s a reason i explained it the way i did.
It uses less system resources vs you use it for less time, the result is the same? I don’t see the difference myself
both scenarios use the same amount of resources but one uses them for longer. that’s not “more taxing”.
