How do you power this? An electrical outlet can only continuously sustain 80% of its rated load. So a 15A outlet is 1440 watts (15A*0.8*120V), while a 20A is 1920 watts (20A*0.8*120V).

Assuming 90% efficiency at full load, a 2800 watt power supply draws 3111 watts (2800/0.9).

So it draws 3111 watts from a 1920 watt wall outlet. How do you power this thing? With a 240V dryer/oven outlet? Or does it require two 20A outlets, each on their own independent circuits? Even two 15A circuits wouldn't be enough.

Oh, now that's certainly lovely! Double or triple the odds of burning your house down!

Exactly my thoughts, 240V is a must so in NA you need to hire an electrician to rewire the entire house to be able to run this thing and if you’re renting, good luck getting your landlord to approve lol, though for the targeted billionaire audience who owns multiple RTX 4090s, it shouldn’t be a big issue. They certainly already had or won’t mind building a whole new server building to house these.
Alternatively, they could use two 120V(20+A) connectors, but that’s cause for more liability as you’d need two circuits that may be spaced far away nor will it stop illiterates from trying to plug them both into the same 1850/1650W rated power bar hopefully with good safety standards. Once they start tripping or damaging their PC, obviously they’ll return products claiming poor build quality or defects when it’s their stupidity.

How do you power this?

Easy, I just plug it into my normal outlet. In the EU we have 230V-13A in the normal outlet and then we have a 400V-16A for the stove.
