    The fastest high-end server drives of 2010 had a seek time around 4 ms. [14] Some mobile devices have 15 ms drives, with the most common mobile drives at about 12 ms [15] and the most common desktop drives typically being around 9 ms. Two other less commonly referenced seek measurements are track-to-track and full stroke.

    Input lag or input latency is the amount of time that passes between sending an electrical signal and the occurrence of a corresponding action.. In video games the term is often used to describe any latency between input and the game engine, monitor, or any other part of the signal chain reacting to that input, though all contributions of input lag are cumulative.

    It is thus similar to overhead in organizations. Computer system overhead shows up as slower processing, less memory, less storage capacity, less network bandwidth, or bigger latency than would be expected from reading the system specifications. [1] It is a special case of engineering overhead. Overhead can be a deciding factor in software ...

  8. Performance per watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_per_watt

    Performance per watt also typically does not include full life-cycle costs. Since computer manufacturing is energy intensive, and computers often have a relatively short lifespan, energy and materials involved in production, distribution, disposal and recycling often make up significant portions of their cost, energy use, and environmental impact.
