My phone's battery is roughly 50KJ. A single nvidia a100 is spec'd at 250W max.

That's 3.3 minutes to consume 50KJ.

But that only considers a single GPU, the rest of the system will be consuming a good chunk of power. You also have to consider the entire datacenter's energy use.

I'd say the claim is within an order of magnitude of being correct, but I seriously doubt it.
