Intel’s Otellini Shows Off An Energy-Efficient Computer From India Via Video Feed


Manorama Online: As Paul Otellini, the CEO of Intel, opened a three-day Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, he showed off, via video feed from India, an Intel “community computer” that can operate for hours powered by a car battery and withstand temperatures of more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius). He predicted that the power-miser processors will breed “ultra energy-efficient” handheld devices that use less than a watt of processing power and weigh less than 0.45 kilogramme.
Slashing computer power consumption could save billions of dollars in electricity costs in coming years, according to Otellini, who estimated that 200 million computers would be sold worldwide this year.
These energy efficient processors will be available from 2006.
