How much power does it consume? This is Ecomodder after all.

What processor intensive things? If it's 3D rendering, there're software solutions:

Quote:
3D Gaussian Splatting is a rasterization technique described in 3D Gaussian Splatting for Real-Time Radiance Field Rendering that allows real-time rendering of photorealistic scenes learned from small samples of images. This article will break down how it works and what it means for the future of graphics.
This has only been around since 202308. Much more efficient than hi-poly meshes.
