Hi Carol, The email I sent out was this one: --------------------- Hi guys, I read about the EPIA 800's power consumption in the wear-hard archives, and a couple of questions popped up in my head: Reading some VIA datasheets, I concluded the following information: * The 800 MHz C3 (Samuel 2 core): Specified average of 12.0W and a max of 19.4W. * The 733 MHz ESP7k (Nehemiah core): Specified average of 4.4W and a max of 6.0W (although, if I've understood it correctly, you should be getting 1-4.4W provided you have a HLT idle loop setting the CPU into StopGrant/AutoHalt mode). What I'd like to know, am I looking at the same CPU as the one in the EPIA 800 measured in the figures below=3F > > > POST consumption (just board with some ram) > > 14.19 watts > > Power consumption: 9.6W/Idle 13.4W/MP3playback > System was booted from a CompactFlash. > If so, could one expect the power usage is dropped by somewhere around 10W by using the 733MHz Nehemiah based CPU=3F (given the other components draw just as much CPU as with the EPIA 800.) That'd mean the system would use ~8W playing MP3s, or.. =3F --------------------- Regards, -- Mikael J > Hi, M.J. > > I don't remember seeing your name on the list before, but I could > have > blinked...
