Netflix can now serve 100Gbit/s of video (so something like 12,500 individual 4K streams) with an appliance using 100 watts of power. That’s 8 milliwatts for each 4K stream.
Remember that number the next time someone tells you that watching a Netflix show is as bad as driving an SUV or some shit.
@karppinen
Watching Netflix via Amazon Firestick adds 40W to TV power consumption - I guess due to HDMI encryption?
@vampirdaddy wow, that’s pretty bad. How much is just the Firestick if you’re not watching Netflix (just browsing the menus and whatnot)?
