One of these days I'm gonna pipe these bad boys into my homes duct work LMAO

Oh my goodness, YES!
The initial concept developed by the company involved using heat generated by Bitcoin mining rigs, according to Heata Co-founder and CTO Chris Jordan.
"We literally put a Bitcoin miner in a barrel of mineral oil and plumbed it up to a radiator," he told The Register.

The efficiency of a heat pump in part comes from the temperature of the heat source. For an air source heat pump it will be more efficient at higher outside temperatures and less efficient and lower outside temperatures, and at extreme temperatures may be less efficient than resistive heating

Technically those are orders of magnitude. 2x or 3x efficiency compared to resistive heating is quite a bit. But in the scheme of getting actual heat into an actual home and real world energy costs it's not a huge difference

Hah. Don't think I haven't thought about it. The outside unit is right besides the window to my home office and I could get some nice overclocking going with a tube and some tape by just opening the hot water.

And just like that, Intel is the best in the game again /s

Depends on your workload, pi digits calculation for example require a lot of compute, but the bandwidth required to communicate the result is trivial. Not saying every workload is the same, but compute to bandwidth relationship is not linear

Order of magnitude is 10x, at least in the common usage of that expression.

Planning on sitting in front of the heat pump in summer with the BBQ going and I can tell my partner to go have a really long shower. Really is win win, the hot water would be almost free with the hot air outside and I get a nice cool breeze outside.

Ah crud yeah you're right. Good catch
