  2. Performance per watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_per_watt

    The red crosses denote the most power efficient computer, while the blue ones denote the computer ranked#500. FLOPS per watt is a common measure. Like the FLOPS (Floating Point Operations Per Second) metric it is based on, the metric is usually applied to scientific computing and simulations involving many floating point calculations

  3. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    Processor manufacturers usually release two power consumption numbers for a CPU: typical thermal power, which is measured under normal load (for instance, AMD's average CPU power) maximum thermal power, which is measured under a worst-case load; For example, the Pentium 4 2.8 GHz has a 68.4 W typical thermal power and 85 W maximum thermal power.

  4. Laptop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop

    This is beneficial when space is at a premium, for example in small apartments and student dorms. When not in use, a laptop can be closed and put away in a desk drawer. Low power consumption: Laptops are several times more power-efficient than desktops. A typical laptop uses 10–100 W, compared to 200–800W for desktops.

  5. Standby power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_power

    For example, a commercially available computer in Wake-on-LAN standby typically consumed 2 to 8 watts of standby power as of 2011, but it was possible to design much more efficient circuitry: a purpose-designed microcontroller can reduce total system power to under 0.5 watts, with the microcontroller itself contributing 42 mW.

  6. Orders of magnitude (power) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(power)

    For reference, about 10,000 100-watt lightbulbs or 5,000 computer systems would be needed to draw 1 MW. Also, 1 MW is approximately 1360 horsepower . Modern high-power diesel-electric locomotives typically have a peak power of 3–5 MW, while a typical modern nuclear power plant produces on the order of 500–2000 MW peak output.

  7. The game-changing all-day laptop power at CES 2025 - AOL

    Quite simply, I was able to go power-commando through CES. Not once, through four 14-hour days full of news conferences, meetings, cocktail receptions and coffee breaks − 66,326 steps in all − ...

  8. PC power management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_power_management

    This is typically achieved through software that puts the hardware into the lowest power demand state available, making it an aspect of green computing. A typical office PC uses about 90 watts when active (approximately 50 watts for the base unit, and 40 watts for a typical LCD screen); and three to four watts when ‘asleep’. Up to 10% of a ...

  9. Thermal design power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power

    The average CPU power (ACP) is the power consumption of central processing units, especially server processors, under "average" daily usage as defined by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for use in its line of processors based on the K10 microarchitecture (Opteron 8300 and 2300 series processors). Intel's thermal design power (TDP), used for ...
