True, such as https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB1CR9F9/ -- but that's a 14,000 lumen "corncob" bulb, not what people mean when they say "100W" these days; they mean 100WEQ, about 17W mostly. You knew that, of course. About 10x an old-time 100W incandescent bulb.
Hmm, 17W, z17...coincidence? I think not. We used to say "All processors wait at the same speed". Maybe not any more, eh? P.S. Now you've led me down a rabbit hole: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3LV7J2R/ is a *300W* LED, 42,000 lumens! That would be fun as a motion-activated driveway lamp. You could probably follow any vandals home by following the trail of urine... -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2025 3:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: z17 On Wed, 16 Apr 2025 14:12:52 -0400, Bfishing wrote: >If the processor is not enabled, it's not consuming power. >For everyone you turn on, it draws additional power. >- We used to state about a 100 watt light bulb, but that was before >everything was LED... > Doesn't a 100 watt light bulb draw the same power nowadays/? As a (not commonplace) 100 watt LED. Has the power consumed by a processor (wait state or not) changed? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
