Did no one read the last bit on the people who did the research? there seems to a clear conflict of interest in this paper. " Dr. Small also reports having served
as an advisor to and/or having received lecture fees from
Allergan, Argentum, Axovant, Cogniciti, Forum Pharma-
ceuticals, Herbalife, Janssen, Lundbeck, Lilly, Novartis,
Otsuka, and Pfizer. Dr. Heber reports receiving consult-
ing fees from Herbalife, and the McCormick Science Institute.The manufacturer of Theracurmin, Theravalues Corpora-tion, provided the Theracurmin and placebo for the trial,funds for laboratory testing of blood curcumin levels, and funds for Dr. Small’s travel to the 2017 Alzheimer’s As-
sociation International Conference for presentation of the
findings"
Naive question: do faster cores perform slower tasks with more efficiency? In other words, if a game uses 80% of the old processor, but only 50% of the new one, is there an impact on the battery life just by being a faster CPU?
Yes. Especially with multiple cores, gets more work done quicker and the core can shutdown. The core can also scale down where it is presumably more efficient.
That's crazy. Do modern cores not also use local, integrated power regulation? I think I remember an Intel PR release about that, but I don't know the detail.
IIRC, the only part they replaced was the controller IC itself. All of the main power components (switching transistors, filter inductors and capacitors) remained off-chip.
Consider that the VRM's have as much or more silicon in them than in the host processor, and they have completely different breakdown voltage and switching speed requirements relative to a CPU.
Amount of energy consumed from global data centers: 205 terawatt-hours. [0]
Amount of water in the oceans: 1,386,000,000 (km3)~= 1.386*10^21kg[1]
water has a specific heat capacity of: 4,200 J/kg°C [2]
Energy/HeatCapacity/AmountOfWater = 1.268×10^-7 degrees Celsius
