illumina+us writes "AMD has released a new family of CPUs targeted at the portable computing market. The new CPUs, collectively named Alchemy, consume less than 1Watt of power. The CPUs have already been named the CPU of choice for Tivo's new Tivo-To-Go technology and are powerful enugh to run DivX, WMV9, and MPEG. The AU1550 consumes just 0.5 Watts at 400 MHz and the AU1100 consumes 0.25 at the same clock speed. These processors consume so little energy they don't even need a heatsink."

  I click the link to the article, it says "nothing for you to see here. please move along", and I get modded offtopic. God I love how slashdot works.

  That's mainly because you're an idiot. If you really thing that copying and pasting a phrase you see on a Slashdot error page is on topic in regards to this article, you're sadly mistaken. Now stop being a self-pitying sissy and get back to work.

20 watts by SWTP_OS9 · 2005-02-17 07:19 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Just saw Toms Hardware with a review on the Mac Mini. Stated it only eats 20 watts and 28 watts for DVD playback. With a PC eating 160 watts.

Not bad for a little 1.2~1.4Ghz box!

They also had a review on SFF units. Still noize! Looked like a hardware hack to the Mini.
