List of CPU Power Dissipation Figures - Early CPUs

Early CPUs

Note that these figures include power dissipation due to energy lost by the computer's power supply and some minor peripherals. However, since the CPU component of these early computers easily accounted for most of the computer's power dissipation, they are mentioned here:

  • EDVAC, 50 kW average
  • ORDVAC, 35 kW average
  • UNIVAC I, 124.5 kW average
