Low Power Consumption Chips, Microprocessors
Low Power Consumption Chips, Microprocessors
Microprocessors / chips that have a lower power consumption have applications across a number of electronic items - such as personal computers, cell phones, DVD players among others.
Some useful resources & updates:
See this Physorg news item that says "Maintaining Low Power Consumption on Chips is critical to Drive Wireless Internet on a Chip Technology"
See this Oct 2006 press release: Broadcom Introduces Ultra-Low Power Wi-Fi® Chips Optimized for Mobile Devices - Ultra Low Power Single Chip Solutions Target Cellular Handset, Portable Gaming, and other Embedded Applications with Optimized Size and Industry Leading Power
Intel powers up plans for low-power chips - Chipmaker changes course from some Pentium 4 designs and says future processors will go easy on the energy - By Michael Kanellos, CNET News.com, August , 2005 - At Intel, watt is the word. The chip giant showed off road maps for its server, notebook and desktop chips for 2006 and 2007 at its Intel Developer Forum here Tuesday, and the dominant theme revolves around reducing power consumption, a concept the company has espoused since the beginning of the decade.
AMD: New Chips Consume Half the Power of Core 2 Duo - AMD Moves to 65nm Generation - By Mark Hachman - Extreme Tech, Dec 2006 - AMD announced its entry into the 65nm manufacturing generation Tuesday with a new line of 65-watt "energy-efficient" processors that the company claimed already consumes just under 50 percent less power than the Intel Core 2 Duo.
PLASTIC DIODE COULD LEAD TO FLEXIBLE, LOW POWER COMPUTER CIRCUITS, MEMORYCOLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State University researchers have invented a new organic polymer tunnel diode – an electronic component that could one day lead to plastic computer memory and plastic logic circuits on computer chips. Today, computer chips use mainly inorganic silicon - says this Ohio State University research report
