Intel's Wine-Powered Microprocessor

angry tapir writes "In a new twist on strange brew, an Intel engineer has showed off a project using wine to power a microprocessor. The engineer poured red wine into a glass containing circuitry on two metal boards during a keynote by Genevieve Bell, Intel fellow, at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Once the red wine hit the metal, the microprocessor on a circuit board powered up. The low-power microprocessor then ran a graphics program on a computer with an e-ink display."

The demonstration is that Intel has chips running on extremely low power, which honestly is kind of cool.

Using a potato clock to power it was a bit of showmanship that the article submitter turned into the main focus.
