  2. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    Other major uses include fast video cards, which contain graphics processing units, and power supplies. In laptops, the LCD 's backlight also uses a significant portion of overall power. While energy-saving features have been instituted in personal computers for when they are idle, the overall consumption of today's high-performance CPUs is ...

  3. Redshift (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift_(software)

    Redshift is an application that adjusts the computer display's color temperature based upon the time of day. The program is free software and is intended to reduce eye strain, as well as insomnia [3] (see Sleep § Circadian clock and Phase response curve § Light).

  4. Thermal design power - Wikipedia

    Coffee Lake-U-based Bean Canyon Intel NUC (NUC8i5BEK2) Motherboard of a 6th generation NUC (Model NUC6i3SYH), extended with two 8 GB RAM modules. Next Unit of Computing (NUC) is a line of small-form-factor barebone computer kits designed by Intel.

  6. Smart Battery System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Battery_System

    Smart Battery System (SBS) is a specification for managing a smart battery, usually for a portable computer. It allows operating systems to perform power management operations via a smart battery charger based on remaining estimated run times by determining accurate state of charge readings. Through this communication, the system also controls ...

  7. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    Computer cooling is required to remove the waste heat produced by computer components, to keep components within permissible operating temperature limits. Components that are susceptible to temporary malfunction or permanent failure if overheated include integrated circuits such as central processing units (CPUs), chipsets , graphics cards ...

  8. Nonvolatile BIOS memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory

    Some computer designs have used non-button cell batteries, such as the cylindrical "1/2 AA" used in the Power Mac G4 as well as some older IBM PC compatibles, or a 3-cell nickel–cadmium (Ni–Cd) CMOS battery that looks like a "barrel" (common in Amiga and older IBM PC compatibles), which serves the same purpose. These motherboards often have ...

  9. Platform Controller Hub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_Controller_Hub

    Technically the processor can operate without a chipset; it only continues to be present for interfacing with low speed I/O. [8] AMD server and laptop CPUs adopt a self contained system on chip (SoC) design instead which doesn't require a chipset. [9] [10] [11]
