EETimes reports:
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Intel Corp. is dropping its power budget guideline for notebook computers from the current 12.6-watt level to just under 10 watts for 2003, said Don Nguyen, senior power architect at Intel.
Speaking Thursday (Feb. 20) at the Intel Developer Forum here, Nguyen said the savings are to come from a rethinking of how power is distributed and consumed in the notebook platform. He took aim at the biggest target, the backlit display, which consumes one-third of total platform power. Long-term, some savings will come from the move to low-temperature polysilicon display technology, where the larger aperture ratio results in a need for less backlight.
