well in the UK 0.5A would be 0.5*220=110 watts. 0.9*220=198 watts. That really isnt that much, although odds are if you are using that much it would be more from disks or TDM hardware than the cpu itself. Some of the newer intel chips are being targeted at lower power consumption I *think* the woodcrest and clovertowns (basically the same different core count though) are in that group. But the chip makers are realizing that large users cant afford the power requirements when you are talking about dozens or more servers. Afford can mean either environmental or monetary in this sense. For reference here is a "news" article dated about 18 months ago that talks about the L5310 (low end clovertown iirc) http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2007/03/23/intel-releases-50-watt-server-processors At 12.5 watts per core that isnt that bad. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
