Performance at High Temperatures Enabled by Low Power Design

8 Hours, Full Operation case study This PDA needed to operate a full shift on one charge. Plus, it had to charge and run on 'any battery that would fit'

Leverage the Low Power Advantage to Run on CAT V See what IEEE spec 802.3 could mean to you.

Why use RISC instead of x86 CISC? Giving up Milliwatt Power should not mean giving up MIPS Power

Microarchitecture for Low Power Applications

Intel Atom  low power single board computers and generic ARM™ Single Board computers allow low-power operation.

Low-Power capability is significant for power savings with battery-operated systems and handheld devices. As a reference, low power x86  single board computers consume as little as 3 watts .  Regular Pentium SBC's  use 20  Watts and more. ADS' Graphics Client Plus 4"x6" single board computer system consumes on average 2W (2,000mW) of power in full operation. Catalyst is a low power SBC that consumes less than 4 watts When in 'sleep mode', the Graphics Client Plus system uses less than 10 milli-watts, yet can spring into full operation instantly with no 'boot up' time. Some XScale designs use less than a watt in full operation!

XScale brings even more exciting power management technologies. See how partitioned power management can shut down sections of the board based on its mode of operation. The newest Xscale technology is called Monahans. See our whitepaper.
