Review: PC Stats
_______________
Processor power consumption has been spiraling through the roof, both team blue (Intel) and team green (AMD ) have made attempts to address this issue. The first option was to throttle back the speed of the processor when running with low utilization. This makes a lot of sense when you think about it, why do you need a CPU running at full speed and sucking up a lot of energy when the machine sitting idle.
