MIT broke the power consumption wall !
3 times lower voltage, 10 times lower power consumption.
Think in those terms: Their processor is 3 times slower and consumes 10 times less power.
Lets redisgn triple core AMD Phenom to low power. 3 cores should be equally fast in processing,
but will consume 3 ties less. Say, instead of 20 watts only 6.5. Then, no need for fan and you will get
fine tablet PC. Nice. Until now we thought that 0.9 volts is the lowest power supply limit.
Please note that in the seventies power supply was 12 volts and computer mobos were desk sized.
Now it is 70 times lower. And consequently power consumption is some 5000 times lower.
