1. Energy per key attempt (technology)
The energy required for evaluating a single key depends on the kind of compute device.
2×10-8 J (GPU)
1×10-11 J (specialized ASIC)
2.9×10-21 J (Landauer limit - theoretical minimum)
J
2. Power consumption
How much power does the computer use?
2000 W (home power outlet)
1 GW (typical nuclear reactor)
20 TW (total power consumption on Earth)
390 YW (total power of the Sun)
W
