[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 point 10 months ago (3 children) There is no way less than 100 pm can make sense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago As I said. It's an extrapolation of the rules from once upon a time to a totally different approach. It's marketing and increasingly subjective. Any number can "make sense" in that context. The number isn't based on anything you could actually measure for a long time now, it's already a fiction, so it can go wherever. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 point 10 months ago (1 child) People have accepted heat pumps as 400% efficient. This is the same. And realistically, how do you describe in an approachable way “you experience what would look like an impossible number if we had continued as before”, where the “if” is key, as is “you experience” permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] bcnelson@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago For what it's worth, I think the heat pump measurement makes way more sense. What I want is to heat my house. I give you one watt hour and you give me 4 watt hours of heat. Sounds like 400% to me. The real issue here is that for the most part the measurements never meant anything for silicon chips. At least too end users. permalink fedilink source parent
