Google recely released a technical report that The amouEnergyConsuming Artificial Ielligence Jamina Make for each Pram Shows. According to the report, on average, a moderate permeept 0.24 wattsElectricity It consumes. The company has also provided estimates of water consumption and carbon emissions associated with Gemini.
Google’s report examines a comprehensive energy consumption review and the energy consumption of artificial ielligence chips that run the models and all the backup infrastructure of this hardware.
Section of power consumption by Google Jamina
Ieresting thing is that Google says only 85Perceage The total 0.24 watts of power consumption is related to artificial ielligence chips (in this case, proprietary Google TPUs).
Another part of the energy is also consumed by hardware support equipme, so that the share of the processor and the host car memory 25Perceage Another. Also support equipme that exists for occasions 10Perceage They make up the total consumption and the remaining 8 % is related to the dataceer’s executive costs such as cooling and energy conversion.
In addition, Google Greenhouse gas emissions Related to the peripheth 0.03 g Carbon dioxide has estimated. Artificial ielligence datasers also use water to cool, and Google estimates that every permater is about 0.26 ml of waterIt consumes about five drops.
However, as Mit Technology Review also pois out, the statistics provided by Google cannot be considered the right jimana for all the jimana. The company’s artificial ielligence processs a wide range of requests, and this estimate is calculated from an average permater. Google has not stated exactly what this medium periphery is. Some rifles consume much more energy, such as when you give dozens of books to Jamina and wa to summarize them all. However, the use of reasoning models also requires more energy, as they go through more steps to produce the response.
Also, this report is limited to textual peripheits and the amou of energy that ProductionImage Or Video It does not show consumption.
In its report, Google has also claimed that the total energy consumption of a Jina Prampt has declined sharply over time. According to Google, Jina consumed 33 times more energy in May last year than May 2025.
