IBM and Advanced Micro Devices have discovered that stressed chips consume less power.
In the world of server chips, Intel is touting performance while AMD is talking up power.
A Google engineer has warned that if the performance per watt of today's computers doesn't improve, the electrical costs of running them could end up far greater than the initial hardware price tag.
IBM's new dual-core PowerPC 970MP processor employs several features to let the chip consume less power when possible.
Intel announced "Sossaman" on Tuesday, a low-voltage version of its Xeon server processors that consumes between a third and a fifth the amount of electrical power as its brethren.
Datacentres are by their nature somewhat sterile and antiseptic places, but many of them hide a dirty little secret: cables so tangled they make the plots of Days Of Our Lives look logical by comparison.
As Oracle gets bigger and bigger, one question remains unanswered: what type of company is Oracle?
When your broadband speeds are limited to 38Kbps it's not hard to join the ranks of people demanding the NBN already. Telstra's copper network is a renovator's delight.
Adelaide-based start-up Punchcard is hoping to bring 3D modelling skills to the masses with VideoTrace.
It's rare that we see a genuinely new technological paradigm land on retail shelves, but solid state drives, or SSDs, are one such technology. Here are five reasons we're looking forward to their ascendancy.
Intel announced "Sossaman" on Tuesday, a low-voltage version of its Xeon server processors that consumes between a third and a fifth the amount of electrical power as its brethren.
It seems going virtual can create some very real returns. Not only does virtualisation cut down on wasted CPU, disk and memory capacity, it also allows for more rapid deployment of applications and reduces power usage.
The average datacentre lasts between 15 and 20 years, so when the current generation of datacentres near the end of their working life, will their replacements be at all familiar?
Over the past few years, the amount of electricity required to power a server in a datacentre has more than doubled. In this special report, we look at why many datacentres today are facing a power and cooling crisis.
The average traveller may think of air travel in terms of security checks and airport lounges, but Melbourne Airport IT manager Mark Funston has a completely different perspective.
The datacentre is the first and most obvious place the IT industry has looked at in addressing its overzealous consumption of power. But is the phrase "green datacentre" an oxymoron? Munir Kotadia attended a seminar in Canberra to try and find out.
Transmeta, which has suffered through a difficult year and a half, is gearing up for a comeback with Astro, a newly designed microprocessor due out in 2003.
What sort of notebook could you be buying in 4 months, or in 2004? We peek into the crystal ball.
The Apple MacBook may look the same as before, but it's had a Spring makeover and is now a better deal than ever.
Managing data storage is just as much of a task (or greater) as managing the servers themselves. It makes sense to centralise management in larger organisations wherever possible. Enter the storage area network (SAN).
We like the Toshiba Satellite L500D, it's amazing value for its price. However, we think it's worth paying the extra AU$200 for the version with the less power hungry GPU.
