In most cases, the air fryer uses less electricity than a toaster oven. Air fryers are typically rated between 1,200 and 1,800 watts, while toaster ovens can range from 1,200 up to 2,400 watts depending on size and features.

Battery size is not always a straightforward comparison. The highest number of milliampere hours (mAh) doesn't always translate to the longest battery life. Indeed, "battery life" itself is somewhat subjective. A phone streaming a video saved to local memory will last longer than a phone exporting a 30-minute 4K video, and yet another phone streaming Spotify to a car on a road trip (with the screen off) will last longer than both.

The bank's analysts are forecasting that AI's share of the overall data center market will double to 30% over the next two years, eating into the share from conventional cloud workloads. By 2030, the firm said in a new , overall power consumption from data centers looks set to jump 175% from 2023 levels - more than the 165% that the firm previously forecast.

Theoretically, at some points, you can see that a significant fraction of the power on Earth should be spent running AI compute, and maybe we're going to get there.
