Not processors, ASIC circuits (the former hasn't been realistically useful to mine bitcoin for close to a decade). These warehouses even have stuff that'll reduce / turn off the mining dynamically depending on the current price of electricity.
Worldwide, bitcoin alone consumes more electricity than whole countries. And it's only one of many cryptocurrencies; they're an ecological disaster (the only thing going for them is they allow to buy VPNs, servers or drugs anonymously I guess; but you could do that even before they appeared).
Yeah, that sounds about right. I'll try to find the video, it was interesting. This super low-end production compared to that secret geothermal powered facility in iceland or wherever, that you can only visit with a bag over your head.
