AMD 'Venice' Core Shows Big Drop in Power Needs
dtjohnson writes "
Lost Circuits has carefully
measured the power consumption of four recent Athlon 64 cores and
has found that power consumption has been dramatically reduced in the
new 'Venice'
core from the relatively-low (compared
to Intel P4) numbers of the original 2003 'Clawhammer' core to less
than 30 watts under load and less than 10 watts for Windows at
idle. This huge power reduction was apparently accomplished by a
combination of 90 nm die shrink, Silicon-on-Insulator
technology, and something called 'dual-stress
liner technology' As Lost Circuits points out, power
consumption worldwide has been exploding as more CPUs come online and
the CPU power requirements increase so a significant power reduction
will reduce the burden on electrical grids everywhere."
awesomeeeee

Problems regarding accounts or comm
Dude: every single comment I've ever seen you post is a one or two sentence half-assed reply along with you spamming your website just to try and get visitors and to get moderated up.
Please, cut the shit.
Perhaps you should look at my 1000+ comment posting history.
Oh wait, you need to be a subscriber for that.
Did it occur to you that it only seems that way because if you don't see the comment about the mirror, then you don't associate it with me? Hmmm?

Oh, wait, I actually save my money instead of blowing it on subscriptions to websites that do nothing more than line the pockets of the people running it.
Seriously, think about what you just posted. What are you honestly getting out of having a subscription to Slashdot?
to stick your pee pee in my poo poo hole.
