Intel plugs power supply guidelines
Intel is apparently aiming to curb the desktop PC's thirst for power, in a measure that could help companies and individuals save on monthly electric bills.
[blockquote]The chipmaker said Thursday that four major manufacturers of power supply units for desktop PCs have signed on to follow the Intel-developed ATX 12V Power Supply Design Guide, a blueprint for more efficient versions of the component sets that carry juice from an electrical outlet to a PC. Intel says that by following the guidelines, manufacturers can enable desktops to use as much as 25 percent less power.
