[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago (1 child) Yeah, no, it's not going to output 1.2 gW in milliseconds. permalink fedilink source hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago The headline is most likely a misunderstanding, but "Output X Watt in Y time" isn't all that wrong, since it would be talking about how quickly the power supply can respond to demand. Every power supply has a ramp-up time, and the way the headline is worded hints to a very short ramp-up time, which would be very helpful for network stabilization. But yeah, it's likely the headline writer just misunderstood something. permalink fedilink source parent
