Not sure about the using less electricity part. With batching, it’s more efficient to serve multiple users simultaneously.

Indeed. Data centers have so many ways and reasons to be much more energy-efficient than local compute it's not even funny.

They do, though I don’t think they max out on energy efficient technology. It’s much easier to cut a deal for cheap electricity with a regional government, much to the chagrin of the locals (who see their power bills go up).
