Dell to cut PC power consumption by 25
June 9, 2008
There will be less heat coming out of your Dell PC in the future.
The Round Rock, Texas-based PC giant has set a target of cutting the power consumption on its laptops and desktops by 25 percent in 2010, according to a report from Martin LaMonica at News.com. That will mean lower power bills for large companies—close to two-thirds of the power in PCs never gets used for a productive use, according to some estimates. A lot of that power gets converted to heat (reach around and touch the back of your computer). Idle time also consumes a lot of power.
